Holiday Spirit

By Cathryn Fox

What’s a girl to do when she finds herself held captive inside a bedroom – with the man she’s been lusting after for months – by a voyeuristic spirit on Christmas Eve?

Give it what it wants, of course.

Elly Watson, Paranormal Task Force Investigator faces her most challenging and erotic assignment yet, and if she wants to free herself before Christmas morning, then she has no choice but to fulfill the spirit’s wild and wicked fetishes - even if that means engaging in a fun holiday romp with her sexy co-worker, over and over again, if need be.

I've been reading romance novels for as long as I can remember. I just never thought I'd be writing them. In fact, I graduated from university with a business degree and started working in the Finance Department of Environment Canada...shiver. A few years into my career, my hubby, who's a meteorologist, got posted up north, population 800. I quit my job and went with him. At first all the spare time was great, then I got bored so I started to read. Day and night. When I ran out of books to read I decided to try writing one. After all, how hard could it be. Ha!! Well, you guessed it. It was hard! Many years later I discovered Romance Writers of America and have learned a great deal since joining my local chapter. My journey to publication hasn't been smooth sailing, but with the support and guidance from the wonderful writers at RWAC, it's been a lot easier. And a lot more fun! I'm very fortunate to have a husband and two children who have been supportive in every possible way. On those frustrating days when I'm banging my head against my desk I look up to see a heart shaped sticky note on my computer that says I love you because you naver give up.

Chapter One

Bah humbug, Elly Watson mumbled under her breath, and then, with much more force than necessary, planted her booted feet on her desk with a loud clunk. When the sound gained the attention of those around her, she lifted her glass of cranberry cocktail and saluted her drunken colleagues.

Some office party this was turning out to be…

Dammit, she wanted to be the one in the back room photocopying her ass, not the one who had to stay sober and man the phones.

But oh no, she couldn’t be partying with the others because the goddamn spirits didn’t stop haunting to celebrate Christmas like regular old mortal folks.

Nope. The holidays didn’t slow them down one bit, which meant that she, after having drawn the short straw from the stack earlier that morning, was stuck with the graveyard shift.

If that wasn’t bad enough, ladies’ man Lucas Nichols, a.k.a. Chicago’s hottest bachelor – a man she’d been lusting after for the last six months – had also gotten the short end of the
