The Woman in the Snow by Jessica Gadziala

Christmas in the city. Blood in the snow. And a love he can’t outrun.
Stephanie lives for Christmas. Her nonprofit’s annual toy drive means thousands of kids wake up to gifts under the tree—and this year, she’s determined to make it the best yet. What she doesn’t know is that the convoy of trucks carrying those toys has a second cargo hidden inside… one that belongs to the mafia.

Venezio has one job: keep the shipments safe. He never expected it could go so wrong.
Now they’re racing through streets glittering with lights, hunted by an assassin and tangled in secrets. She won’t let the mob ruin Christmas for the kids. He won’t let anyone lay a hand on her. Somewhere between chaos and carols, Venezio and Steph give in to the feelings growing between them.
But the holiday is coming. And if they don’t outwit their pursuers before the bells toll, Christmas morning may bring nothing but blood.
