\"\"Spirits of Christmas (Wild Witches of Beaver Bay)<\/b><\/p>\n

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\u2019s surprised when the intriguing but disturbed owner of the house appears several days before Christmas.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Joel and Christa are instantly attracted, but will his psychological state prevent them from finding peace and love?<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s something off with him.<\/em><\/p>\n

Joel climbed the stairs like he was headed to a funeral, and by the look of him, it should be his own. Pale. Sweaty. Tense.<\/p>\n

It was either the flu or —<\/p>\n

No way. If he was on drugs, Christa couldn\u2019t stay in the house, but drug use was a logical explanation for how he looked. Didn\u2019t a lot of actors use drugs?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t profile. Lots of people in general use drugs.<\/em><\/p>\n

Maybe it was his diet. The man was almost too thin. The last thing he needed was to cut calories. Apparently lots of actors went on diets to fit certain parts. Christa couldn\u2019t understand that. A person\u2019s body was their temple. Why abuse it?<\/p>\n

Drugs. Diet.<\/p>\n

Shoot, fame wasn\u2019t worth it.<\/p>\n

Christa returned to the kitchen and finished baking her cookies. After cleaning up she decided to go to her room and practice yoga before bed. She had planned on sleeping late, but now that her employer was here, she was back to work.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhoa!\u201d Christa said, stepping back from the stairs.<\/p>\n

Dressed in a sweat suit, hat, and vest, Joel practically flew down the steps.<\/p>\n

\u201cSorry.\u201d He paused, glancing at her. \u201cI\u2019m going for a run.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou just got here, and I thought you had the flu?\u201d<\/p>\n

He grinned. \u201cYou thought, but I said I\u2019m fine. I\u2019ve been trapped in my car for too long. I need air.\u201d<\/p>\n

Air, or his connection? Drugs. He must be on drugs. Who the hell went running at ten o\u2019clock at night during a snowstorm?<\/p>\n

\u201cBe back later. Goodnight, Miss Wild.\u201d He opened the door and stepped out.<\/p>\n

\u201cCall me Christa.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glancing over his shoulder, he winked before closing the door.<\/p>\n

Christa hurried to the window and watched him jog down the large, circular driveway. When he disappeared behind the tall bushes lining the sidewalk, she turned and hurried upstairs.<\/p>\n

This is so wrong. If he comes back and catches me, I\u2019ll be fired, but I have to check.<\/em><\/p>\n

He had left his bedroom door ajar. His open suitcase and a large gym bag rested on the bed. A laptop and several paper notebooks and file folders sat on his desk.<\/p>\n

With a racing pulse, she carefully searched through his suitcase. Shirts, pants, socks. Normal stuff. Looking at his briefs embarrassed her a little, mostly because she knew she had no business looking through his personal belongings, but if there were drugs in this house, she needed to know. If he caught her, he\u2019d probably think she was doing this just because he was famous, but she\u2019d look through anyone\u2019s stuff if she thought they\u2019d brought drugs into a house she was living in.<\/p>\n

There. The suitcase looked exactly like he\u2019d left it. Now for the gym bag.<\/p>\n
