A Cove Creek Christmas: Merry Christmas Baby (Smoky Mountain Christmas Magic Book 5)

In the shadow-shrouded mountain town of Cove Creek, where Christmas miracles are as familiar as fresh snow, Jake Boles becomes the unwitting recipient of a deadly secret: a baby, abandoned in his arms by a stranger who whispers three chilling words, “This is yours” before disappearing into the bone-deep cold of a December dawn.
For Jake’s bride Larisa Mae, the infant’s arrival shatters more than holiday peace. Six months of marriage crumble beneath the weight of lies she never suspected, while the baby’s eyes hold secrets that could destroy them both.
As winter tightens its grip and no one comes forward to claim the child, Larisa discovers that some gifts come wrapped in deception. The deeper she digs into Jake’s past, the more she realizes the baby may not be the only thing he’s been hiding.
In this snow-covered town where whispered gossip can be as lethal as winter storms, Jake and Larisa must navigate treacherous ground where friends might be enemies and salvation could mean a fight for their lives, and the lives of others.
While for Jake and Larisa, the path from suspicion to salvation will test not just their marriage, but their very understanding of faith, truth, and the power of unconditional love.

Welcome to book #5 in the Smoky Mountain Christmas Magic series by Cyn Taylor set in the quaint town of Cove Creek, Tennessee. Be warned, this book has an extra dose of suspense and less cozy romance.
