After testifying at the murder trial that sent her stepmother to prison and escaping an attempt on her life, Melody Shaw has lost everything. Formerly CEO of her family’s pharmaceutical company, she’s now living incognito as a housekeeper at a cozy resort in rural Montana. New career, new apartment, new name. She knows she needs to keep a low profile. The last thing she needs is a romance with … the handsome, hardworking owner of the Peak View Hot Springs Resort.
When rancher and resort owner Justin McQueen impulsively asks Melody for some ideas to increase bookings for the resort, he’s impressed with her creativity and quick thinking. He persuades the reluctant Melody to jump in as the temporary events coordinator, helping him plan a week of Christmas festivities. As they work together, both of them struggle to fight their growing attraction. Justin is still recovering from a bad break-up and is very aware that as her employer, he needs to tread carefully. He also senses Melody has a secret, which he is determined to uncover.
As their event planning comes to fruition, Justin knows he needs to put common sense on hold and take a chance on a love he wants to last forever.

Loved the storyline and the characters. It was very hard to put this book down. I wanted to see what was coming next. Intrigue and romance all in one.
Liked the story revolving around the Witness Protection program. The suspense of not being found while completely changing your life style made a good story.
This book has everything I wanted.
I can always count on a Trish Milburn book for a good read.
She is living in the witness protection program after her stepmother killed her dad and took over their company. She has a job as a housekeeper in a Montana resort She falls for her boss but is hesitant to tell him who she really is. An easy read
I enjoyed the story. Good plot on a good romance.
great story.
Want to read more of her books,
Ok book. I wasn’t crazy about the heroine though. I have no doubt it would be difficult for her to leave her world behind, but she spends an inordinate amount of time thinking about how special and important she was in her previous life. The pity party was fine for a couple of chapters, but it started to grate on my nerves after a while. Honestly it made me not want to finish the book.
I thought the characters were a little on the wimpy side but I finished it. Wasn’t exactly a steamy romance.
A wonderful spinoff of Cinderella! I loved it! I can’t wait to read more of this series!
An enjoyable light read with interesting characters.
Melody’s internal conflicts are very real. I like that she learned what was truly important to her.
Great book highly recommend!
I enjoyed this book very much! I look forward to reading more from this author.

How do you make a new life when hiding from the mob? Living in a small town far away from her home, working as maid and changing her appearance Melody hoped to stay safe. This book has a good plot, is easy to read and the main characters could be real people.
