ROCK'n'ROMANCE trilogy
by Genie Gabriel
It's almost Christmas and Julia's children have been kidnapped! Battling a fierce winter blizzard, they are desperately searching the mountains for the twins, hoping for a Christmas miracle.
The three books from my Rock'n'Romance trilogy are available at the special e-book price of just 99 cents each from Rogue Phoenix Press and other online e-tailers.
Hope you enjoy this cliffhanger from THE BODYGUARD!

Mitch and Julia followed Gabe and three other team members back up the mountain. Most of the climb was accomplished in silence other than a brief explanation to Cayle when they met up with his team.
Are we crazy to trust a mongrel dog with my children’s lives? Julia wondered. But Gabe seemed so confident as he trotted through the snow, only stopping to look back impatiently at the slow progress of the humans. When they neared the top of the mountain, Gabe stopped and sat down.
“So where are the kids?” one of the team members asked.
“Gabe, where are Abraham and Angelina?” Julia’s heart sank. All she saw was snow drifted halfway up a handful of trees, broken by an occasional bare spot and a shack in the distance. But no opening in the mountain. “Find the twins.”
Gabe simply looked at her and stayed where he was.
“I knew this was nuts,” a team member grumbled.
“Wait a minute,” Cayle said. “We’re in a direct line to the old Cole cabin. That means we’re almost standing on the Lodestar mine. But something doesn’t look right.”
Cayle gazed up the mountain, then to the right and to the left. “Judging from that bare patch of ground where there should be snow, I’d say there’s been an avalanche recently. My guess is the dog is sitting right where the main entrance used to be.”
