The Halloween Haunting

Tess and Brady are planning a haunted house fundraiser so they can expand the shelter to include a top-of-the-art training facility as well as a permanent residence for hard-to-place animals. During the decorating party, they find a skeleton—a real skeleton—hidden behind a false wall in the attic. They turn the skeleton over to Mike, but once they do, everything starts going wrong, and Tess wonders if they haven't somehow managed to awaken an angry spirit.

Mike thinks Tess is letting her imagination run away with her, but she trusts her instinct so, with Tony's help, she begins to dig around on her own. The deeper they dig, the more they find, including a second more recently deceased body hidden within the creepy old house. Meanwhile, Bree and Mike are adjusting to married life; Tess finds out something alarming about her father's life before he met her mother, and plans are underway for another Thomas Thanksgiving.

The Christmas Clause

With just two weeks until the highly anticipated Christmas on Main event, the tiny town of White Eagle, Montana, is all decked out for the season. With the annual tree lighting just around the corner, Tess and Tony are busy with their own holiday preparations, until someone close to Tess is shot and killed in front of her own home.

Tess jumps in to help Mike track down the killer, believing the gunman to have been connected to the mystery surrounding her own father’s disappearance. Her theory seems plausible, and even probable, until Santa is found dead an hour before the annual Santa parade, messing up Tess’s theory and complicating things even further.

The Puppy Project

Tony has decided to donate 100 percent of the proceeds from the video game he developed with his friend Shaggy to the White Eagle Animal Shelter. Tess and Brady plan to use the generous donation to expand the facility. Permanent housing for elderly, sick, and other hard-to-place animals is their main focus, but then Brady decides to go all in on the new state-of-the-art service-dog and search-and-rescue training facility, and Tess makes a major decision that will affect the rest of her life.

Meanwhile, Tess has her feeling hurt when her dad contacts Tony directly to ask for help tracking down someone from his past, but as they dig deeper into the correspondence, they begin to wonder if the email even really is from her dad. Could someone other than Tess’ dad be using Tony to find the women Grant Tucker helped decades ago?
