Sleigh Bells and Slaughter

About the book

You mention a slaughter? Well, who wouldn't be on the edge if they had to endure 'Jingle Bell Rock' for the eleven thousandth time?

Christmas is already a headache with all the music, last-minute shopping, and endless holiday gatherings. And don't even get me started on the people you hated in high school and still can't tolerate now.

At the top of the list? Patty Harrison. She made my adolescence a living hell, and now as adults, she's out to ruin my Christmas market experience.

Despite all this, I have no intention of committing actual murder.

So, when Patty turns up dead in the blaze of my shed, I can't say I'm shedding any tears either.

With my Wednesday Addams vibe, everyone jumps to the conclusion that I'm the culprit - especially Captain Luke Reynolds, the firefighter assigned to crack the case of arson and murder.

He embodies everything I despise about the holidays, all wrapped up in one tall, hunky package.

And no, not in that way! I'm not about to swoon over a man who believes I'm a killer. Unfortunately, my only witness is my cat, Salem, who isn't exactly chatty.

As someone who loathes Christmas and eagerly anticipates Halloween, I won't be inviting Luke over for milk and cookies in hopes of winning his sympathy.

Instead, I'll be preparing my brass knuckles, clearing my name, and then taking refuge in my witchy cottage to survive the festive season.

But what if I stumble right into the hands of the real murderer?

Even better!

Christmas could use a touch of eeriness, and what better way than solving a homicide?

This standalone, comical holiday romance-mystery showcases a spooky book buddy, a firefighter ready to light up your holidays, small-town intrigue, and a murder mystery!
