To Catch an Elf — Debra Parmley

Darkness swept in, in the blink of an eye. Marcie Hayes came to the cozy little town nestled in the Pocono Mountains to house-sit. While she adores the King Charles Spaniel, she's tasked with watching, she can't help but be leery of the creepy antique elf toy that becomes part of her job. Lucky for her, an enticing distraction enters her life when she meets sexy Air Force fighter pilot Ted Barrett. The attraction between them is instant and addictive. As much as Ted longs to spend every minute he can with Marcie, his brother's wedding forces him onto a plane for Montana. His flirty messages exchanged with Marcie have him counting the minutes until he can return to her. Then, she abruptly falls silent. Returning home he finds evidence pointing to a possible abduction. Now, in hopes of finding Marcie, he must follow the clues to her captors... and pray he can get there in time to save her.
