Festive Frostbite:
A Colder Christmas Collection

 

Special Personal Introduction:

Here we go again…

A second holiday collection in one season.

Hot on the heels of publishing Half-baked Holidays: A Romantic Comedy Holiday Collection.

Turns out I had more holiday stories in me, vibrating to be told.

Except…

This time around, the stories edge out of romantic comedy and slide just a touch chillier. But only a bit. Each one ends on a positive note.

And all five of them involve crime during the holidays.

Two contain romantic elements.

Four are from the perspective of the criminal. {grins}

Because, let’s face it. Santa has two lists.

And sometimes…

It’s just more fun to embrace our naughty side.

And although I loved adventuring in all the stories equally, several hard-and-fast favorites shimmered to the top for me as beautiful starters to additional stories in those worlds.

It’s the first time we all get to meet Mick Morgan. But I fell in love with the gruff hitman and his crew and have a strong suspicion Best Served Ice Cold won’t be our last story with Mick.

Plus, cat burglar Felicia captivated my heart in Caught at Christmas. I’m thinking we could go so many places with her further escapades.

Oh, and then we have the criminal capers of Rissa and her heartwarming orphan crew in Thick as Thieves. I’d love to adventure with her crew again.

And so…

Without further ado…

It’s time to skate onto thin ice with me, with five brand-new multicultural holiday stories in Festive Frostbite: A Colder Christmas Collection.

’Tis the season for stealing and… icing.

A charming college football quarterback corners a sexy cat burglar in…
Caught at Christmas

Gunmen and Mother Nature chase a newbie snowboarder down the slopes in…
Snowed Under

An innocent college girl hires jaded hitman Mick Morgan in…
Best Served Ice Cold

Christmas party petty theft turns into grander larceny in…
Billion Dollar Holiday

Five orphans raid a luxury department store over Christmas in…
Thick as Thieves

Read on to brave your holidays on the naughty list.

With tremendous pleasure, I introduce Festive Frostbite: A Colder Christmas Collection.

I hope you enjoy the unique colder… no less heartwarming… Christmas tales.

When desire sets you free…control is a matter of perception.

I’m Devin Hill.

Darkness taints my soul.

I’m suffocating. Drowning.

The sweet promise of air? Pure illusion.

Tested as a genius at age seven, I hide my emotions, become what they expect…bury my secrets. At nineteen, I trudge toward a predestined path, blinders on, heart safeguarded.

Until I dare to be wild.

Until Alec Marquez crashes into my world.

Until all that follows redefines everything I’ve ever known.

What happens when you stumble into a world of spies…and discover you belong there?

The Espionage Effect - The Blindfold Pic Quote

Excerpt

“Do you remember their love?” An odd question, even to my ears, but I needed to know.

He didn’t reply right away, only briefly paused, then continued typing.

I didn’t release the photograph. Didn’t turn around. Entranced to a level I couldn’t resist or deny, I remained rooted to the spot on his bamboo office floor, clinging to a fragment of someone else’s joyous life, stuck in my admiration for those who’d been able to defy the choking darkness of the world for its breath of light.

The keyboard clicking ended entirely. But I barely noticed.

My heart pounded in my ears as I gripped the frame, thumbs slipped into place on the perfect silver surface. My fingerprints might as well have marred the perfect picture. Its image marked me. Indelibly.

How had one two-dimensional image branded my heart so fast?

On a shaky exhale, it hit me. It hadn’t. The delicate aging photograph hadn’t been the one thing, it had been the last thing, the proverbial straw on the camel’s back—the catalyst to the fractures spider-webbing through an armored façade I’d so carefully constructed finally shattering apart, blowing to dust the once impenetrable fortress walls I’d imprisoned myself within.

“I remember.” His voice slid over my senses, warm and soft. His heat came up behind me, wrapping around me as his strong hands ran down my arms, then covered my hands as they still clutched the frame.

For the first time in my life, I finally stood without my armor. Terrified, yet convinced I needed to take the leap of faith even if I died from the fall, I leaned back into his strength.

And he held me. As I began to shake, gripped the frame tighter for fear of dropping it, he simply held me.

“Their laughter is the greatest memory; I can still hear its echo in my head, feel its presence in the middle of the night.”

An aching pang thumped from behind my ribcage. That he would be lonely in the darkness too, seek the memory of what he’d once had to lull him to sleep.

I’d done the opposite. “I can’t remember mine.” My voice croaked. Hands trembling uncontrollably, I clattered the bottom metal corners of the frame down onto the perfectly polished surface before I dropped it. “Their love, I mean.” I sucked in a ragged breath as my arms drew against my middle. I hugged myself, trying to hold in the pain that I’d never let myself feel.

His arms followed, covering mine. A cramp burned at the base of my throat, and I closed my eyes, pinching back hot tears, afraid of losing myself to the scathing onslaught of feelings. As my breathing grew shallow, Alec tightened his hold, wordlessly providing his protection from the unseen threat.
