Christmas Eve was supposed to be perfect.
The greens are on the stove. The kids are out riding to see the lights with their daddy. And Noelle Batiste has the house to herself for one quiet hour.
Then the front door opens, and somebody punches in the alarm code.
Whoever is standing in her foyer knows her house. Knows her name.
And they are not leaving until her husband gets home.
Not This Christmas is a dark holiday thriller from C. Jackson II.
