On a snow-dusted Christmas Eve in Alexandria, Virginia, Cynthia Norton—32 weeks pregnant -- and her husband Rick invite some of their former Special Forces team to their home for a joyful holiday celebration. What begins as a night of mulled cider, laughter, and cherished memories takes a deadly turn when an anti-Christian extremist opens fire during the Christmas Eve service at her uncle’s historic church. The group fights to reclaim the true meaning of Christmas: that even in the deepest darkness, hope, honor, and love endure.
With nearly a million book sales, USA TODAY bestselling and Carol award-winning author Hallee Bridgeman writes action-packed romantic suspense filled with realistic characters facing real-world problems. Her work has been described as everything from bold and refreshing to heart-stopping exciting and edgy.
Hallee and her husband live in central Kentucky, enjoying the beautiful changing of the seasons. When she’s not penning novels, you will find her in the kitchen, which she considers the ‘heart of the home’. Her passion for cooking spurred her to launch a whole food, real food “Parody” cookbook series. In addition to nutritious, Biblically grounded recipes, readers will find that each cookbook also confronts some controversial aspect of secular pop culture.

Hallee loves living in Kentucky, drinking really good coffee, watching campy action movies, going on regular date nights with her husband, and spending time with her children. Above all else, she loves God with all of her heart, soul, mind, and strength; has been redeemed by the blood of Christ; and relies on the presence of the Holy Spirit to guide her.
She prays her work here on earth is a blessing to you and would love to hear from you. You can reach Hallee at hallee@halleebridgeman.com
