Chesapeake Bay Christmas - Julie Leverenz - Bog

A Life for Christmas: An undercover detective... As an undercover narcotics detective, Cade knew about the dark side of humanity. He'd seen the worst of the worst, and thought he was immune to almost everything. But nothing could have prepared him for what came this Christmas. A female informant... Cade had been working hard to put away Thaddeus Bruneux, a notorious drug dealer and pimp. But Thaddeus knew the clock was ticking and had a whole different plan for Cade, a plan that involved the one woman Cade just happened to love. A whole new assignment... When Cade gets a reassignment by the very high-up management team just in time for Christmas, he doesn't know if he can get the job done. Adjusting to the new job means adjusting to a new partner, a graying man that Cade isn't even sure is sane, much less partner material. But all that matters now is that he figures out what he is really supposed to do this Christmas to complete his assignment. Hopefully his partner, Percy, can help him find the way. A Nice Jewish Boy: All of the characters are back from "Tea with a Hussy". It's 1965 and Mary Liz is determined to spend Christmas with her boyfriend at Wo Fat's Chinese Emporium. But Grandmother has other plans. Will Mary Liz prevail? Will Corrine Davis, the chinwag of Deltaville, strike again? Family secrets are revealed in this sequel to Volume I's "Tea with a Hussy".
