This month I’m going to share excerpts from my holiday paranormal romance Spirits of Christmas. It has a touch of horror and spicy love scenes, so it’s not a sweet holiday romance.
Thank you for stopping by!
Excerpt:
“You probably want me to go, right?” Christa tried not to sound as disappointed as she felt. She had been counting on this place to help her find what she’d lost.
He narrowed those jewel-like eyes. “Why didn’t you go home for Christmas?”
“I…” How could she tell him the truth, that she was here to contact ghosts? “I felt I couldn’t.”
He nodded slowly, studying her. She should have felt uncomfortable, but his eyes were so damn pretty she could gaze into them all night. He was as attractive in real life as on screen.
Spirits of Christmas
by Kate Hill
On Christmas Eve twenty-five years ago, a brutal murder was committed at the house where Christa Wild works as a live-in maid. When the other servants leave for the holiday this year she stays behind, hoping that any spirits dwelling there will help her regain the psychic power she lost. She’s surprised when the intriguing but disturbed owner of the house appears several days before Christmas.
Action star Joel Connor has kept a terrible secret for most of his life. Despite his success as an athlete and actor, he is plagued by flashbacks of a gruesome attack that destroyed his family. This Christmas, Joel returns to the house where it happened to face the ghosts of the past, but finds he is not alone.
Joel and Christa are instantly attracted, but will his psychological state prevent them from finding peace and love?

Oh, he didn’t answer the question. Does he really want her to leave? Intriguing!
How wonderful to get lost in eyes that are “so damn pretty” 🙂

Love the comment about his eyes! A very intriguing plot you have going on here, loved it. Great snippet…
He’s avoiding the question and wants to know more. I get the feeling she’s not leaving!
Love the line about him being just as attractive in real life and on screen.
What an intriguing story. And I love the cover.
