by Kate Hill<\/p>\n \u201cI work here.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n He raised a groomed eyebrow. \u201cOh, really? Then why aren\u2019t you on vacation <\/strong>with the rest of the staff?\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI –\u201d <\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m sorry. I thought I\u2019d be alone here.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cSo did I,\u201d he murmured before pulling out his cell phone and taking her picture. <\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWhat the hell are you doing?\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n He held up a finger for silence while he made a call. \u201cFrank, yes. It\u2019s Joel. The <\/strong>picture I just sent. Does that girl work here?\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s a good idea.\u201d Christa pulled out her cell, took his photo, and texted it to <\/strong>Frank — the butler in charge of the house — along with a note asking for confirmation of <\/strong>the man\u2019s identity. <\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cYou don\u2019t know me?\u201d A smile flirted with his slim lips. <\/strong><\/p>\n She lifted her chin. \u201cWhy should I know you? I\u2019ve worked here a month and <\/strong>have never met the owner of the house.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cDo you ever go to the movies?\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n Christa curled her lip. \u201cAre you asking for a date? Now?\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n This time he laughed. It changed his entire demeanor. Instead of board-up-his-ass angry, he looked kind of cute. \u201cNo. I thought you might have seen my movies, <\/strong>that\u2019s all.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cYour movies. No. I –\u201d She stared. Now everything made sense. Yes, she had <\/strong>seen a few of his movies with her younger brother, who was totally into martial arts, <\/strong>action, and horror. <\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s okay. I wasn\u2019t being full of myself — at least not intentionally.\u201d He offered <\/strong>his hand. \u201cJoel Connor. And according to Frank, you\u2019re Miss Christa Wild. Are you <\/strong>hurt?\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cNo. Just surprised.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Blurb:<\/strong><\/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 From Changeling Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Powered by Linky Tools<\/b><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/spirits-of-christmas-kate-hill-198x300.jpg\")

\n\u201cAre you responsible for these atrocious decorations?\u201d He strode past her to <\/strong>glance in the living room. <\/strong><\/p>\n
