She’s happy with her life and content with her choices… or so she thinks, until one holiday season, her world gets shaken up like a snow globe. It starts with a small accidental fire at the Mistletoe Inn, and her introduction to the town’s newest resident: Rhett Dawkins.

As one of the elected Righteous, Caleb Alexander’s path to widespread renown is guaranteed so long as he can endure a year as an overseer on Azazel, preventing the other guards from fraternizing with the prisoners.
