    The Organisation is a fantasy set in a make-believe world of wooden sailing ships, horse-drawn carriages and soldiers in red tunics and tall hats. Although it is a fairy tale it contains no magic or talking animals and is not meant for young children. It is intended for grown-ups, particularly ones with inquiring interests in a wide range of contentious issues. 
    A gold storage business is transformed into a very profitable bank when its owners find they can create paper money, and issue loans, without the need to back all their banknotes with gold. It transforms Areho into a flourishing kingdom. An association dedicated to protecting business interests is formed. To help obscure it from the public the association is not given a name, although to members of its innermost circles it is known as 'The Organisation'. By secretly infiltrating all centres of power and influence, including the monarchy and the news media, 'The Organisation' fulfils its goal, but astute members of its inner circles realise that the economic system they have created has a requirement of its own. It is an issue they cannot ignore.

    Taking on the responsibilities that come with being Lady Lyndhurst, Stella is eager to embrace yuletide traditions in the Edwardian English countryside and use her strong social influence for good. Her world becomes so consumed with starting a horse farm charity for the holidays that she barely notices the usual oddities attached to her upper crust lifestyle. At least, not until items vanish from her bedroom and maligned housekeeper, Mrs. Nelson, becomes seriously ill—only to be found dead in the cold on Mistletoe Lane . . . 
     
     
      
    Cheery spirits are dashed following the sudden death, especially once Stella questions whether her own staff knows what—or who—killed the woman. Her suspicions mount when another person dies under strange circumstances during New Forest's annual Point-to-Point Boxing Day race. Then there's the case of Morrington Hall becoming plagued by false identities, secret affairs, and disgruntled employees . . . 
     
     
      
    Now, with two murders unfolding before their eyes in late December, Stella and Lyndy realize they can't fully trust anyone except for themselves while investigating. Because as disturbing answers come into focus, identifying the criminal responsible and surviving into the new year would be the greatest gift of the season . . .

    Her husband was supposed to come back, but now Rossalyn must rebuild and raise their son alone. Leaving their old life behind, she takes thirteen-year old Ryan cross-country to the small town where she grew up. On the road trip home, she makes a discovery. 
     
     
     
    An old building on Main Street catches her eye and sparks an idea. Rossie knew immediately that it would be a perfectly charming place for a business . . . but what kind?

    Things are not quite as sweet as they seem in the small town, however. 
     
     
     
    A body is found behind her new business, which spurs a string of unfortunate events that pushes Rossie to the edge. Who is the menacing biker that shows up at the oddest times? Why does the sheriff have a chip on his shoulder? 
     
     
     
    Rossalyn never expected to become an amateur sleuth, but if she doesn't figure out whodunit, the sheriff may try to pin the murder on her. Are she and Ryan next on the killer's list? Will she figure out the clues in time?
