Blurb:
Employer and employee, vampire and human, he drives her nuts, she threatens his existence. The situation is complicate enough, but when love is thrown into the mix, things really get out of control. Romance author Tracey Steinbach is pleased to present her paranormal romance Her Christmas Tree. You’ll love this holiday treat!
Excerpt:
Miranda’s heels clicked loudly across the marble floor as
she stomped her way down the hall. She pressed her lips together to keep from
shrieking at the infuriating man. If he didn’t watch himself, she was going to
stake him through the heart in his sleep. Would serve the arrogant bastard
right if she did.
Did you hear that? One of these days I’m going to stake
you in your sleep!
Matthias’s deep chuckle was the only answer she received.
That quickened Miranda’s stride, sparking more of her anger. How dare Matthias
deny her a few days off? It was Christmas, for heaven’s sake! She knew he
didn’t celebrate it, but she did. It was her favorite holiday, and she wanted
to spend it doing what she wanted, not catering to his every need. No, she didn’t
have any family to spend it with, and she barely had any friends, it seemed
like every time she planned something with Beth and Vicki, Matthias would beep
her with some emergency. They never turned out to be real emergencies, though.
Miranda suspected that he was trying to keep her in the house and away from
other people. She just couldn’t figure out why. It wasn’t like she was going to
go blathering on about her boss the vampire. Who would believe her?
Miranda had stomped her way to the other side of the house
when her PDA went off. The man was bound and determined to make her crazy
today. She activated the touch screen, bringing his message up.
If it will make you happy, you may put up a tree in my
living room. Not that I want one. I do not. But if it will keep you from
staking me in my sleep, so be it.
Miranda could almost feel his amusement. Fine, he was
giving her permission for a tree? It was going to be the biggest tree that
would fit in there. Miranda allowed a small smile to curve her lips. At least
she’d get to do some decorating. When she’d moved from her dinky little
apartment to the wing of Matthias’s house, she had mourned the loss of her own
space to decorate for holidays. Matthias had said she could do whatever she
wanted to her rooms, but it wasn’t the same as having a tree lit in front of a
picture window, sharing it with whomever happened by. That was one of the best
parts of the Christmas season, to her mind. The feeling of giving and sharing,
that normally eluded the public, was present. It warmed her heart to do for
others, which was one of the things that made her good at her job. Yeah,
sometimes her boss was a pain in the ass, but she was happy most of the time.
He obviously was happy with her, too, or he’d have fired her long before now.
I'll be giving one copy of Her Christmas Tree to someone who answers the question: Would you want to be a vampire, if you could?
