Summary

Five years ago, Jack Ballinger was a police officer.
He has since moved from the small upstate New York town of Black Falls for greener pastures and a peaceful life alone in the Green Mountain State. Time has changed Jack -- he is no longer the man he used to be. A significant challenge for him has been the heartbreaking loss of his boyfriend, companion, and one true love, Steve. 
Now alone, Jack has yet to deal rationally with the immediate changes of his new life. After losing his partner, Jack drank heavily to numb the pain and forget his life-changing loss. Now he must find a way to move forward without Steve and the life he built for himself. Joining an Alcoholics Anonymous group helps quiet the voices that still keep him awake at night. But something much darker has followed him to his life in the quiet corners of Vermont. 
When Jack thinks he has buried the scars of his past, a new nightmare emerges. How far will Jack go to end the imminent evil in his life and kill it for good? 
Trigger warning: this story addresses suicide and suicidal ideation.

    Sometimes all it takes is one goat to make a difference …
Being thrown from his horse two days before Christmas is only slightly colder than the chilly reception Hudson Comerford, fourth son of the Marquess of Waterbury, expected on arriving at his family's estate in the Cotswolds. Finding a goat stuck in the undergrowth and just as lost as he is, leads him down a path he never expected to take.
Percival "Mercy" Cooke served in the Royal Navy for the better part of two decades before coming to his newly widowed sister's rescue. The perils of duty have never quite left him, even if he's more than made a home for himself as the proprietor of The Sunken Ship Inn. When a pre-Christmas blizzard blows a delectable fellow into the common room, trailing a goat of all things, Mercy finds he's been more alone than he knew.
When Hudson's family duties rear their ugly head, can one very determined goat make it a Merry Christmas?
