Synopsis

A brief, winter-set interlude in the Housemaid series, set over a single snowy morning in New York City on the day Millie Calloway is to marry Enzo Accardi. The mood of the wedding day is broken when Millie wakes to a phone call from a man threatening to kill her — payback for the part she played in helping his wife escape an abusive marriage. Millie shrugs off the threat and turns her attention to the small disasters of the morning, including a wedding dress that no longer fits. A light, tension-laced bonus story rather than a full installment, it can be read between books two and three or after the trilogy.
