This month I’m going to share excerpts from my holiday paranormal romance Spirits of Christmas. This excerpt picks up where last week’s left off.
Thank you for stopping by!
Excerpt:
“You don’t have to go, Miss Wild, but just to be clear, I’m staying here until after Christmas.”
“Hey, it’s your house.” Strange that knowing she wouldn’t be alone relieved her.
“Fine. I’m going to get my suitcase.” He stepped toward the front door, but paused and turned back to her. “If you tell anyone anything about my private life here, I’ll feed you to sharks.”
“Excuse me? With all due respect, boss, I couldn’t care less about your private life. I work here. That’s all, and when I say work, I mean as a maid–Nothing else.”
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?

Ooooooo! This sounds like a wonderfully different kind of holiday read. I’m onboard.
Oh, this is just the beginning! So many possibilities!
LOL! Nice clarification at the end there.
All very intriguing for sure! Can’t wait for more, enjoyed the snippet.
What an interesting Christmas they’re going to have! Sparks flying already and not exactly the good kind–at least not yet. Loved this beginning!
