In this Christmas Romance novella
seasonal cheer abounds, until Trish Ackerly spies a demon from her childhood standing
outside gawping at the festive display fronting her bakery shop. Although murderous
thoughts instantly leap to mind, as he steps inside she bottles-out on courage and leaves
her partners' in pastry crime to face Ian Rafferty, hunk extraordinaire: the
very cause of childhood embarrassment and heartache Trish would give almost anything
to avenge.
Lo & Behold it is her
artistic ability that has caught Ian’s eye rather than that of chocolate Yule logs
and Christmas sweetmeats. Hence, the chance to enact revenge soon wins in the “shall-I,
shan’t-I, dare-I stakes” because Trish bears no resemblance to the butt of his past
teasing ways, and when he fails to recognise her she’s raring to cause Rafferty
grief in a way he won’t forget in a hurry. Needless to say emotions run high
for Trish in fulfilling Ian’s commission to render his house with festive cheer,
and while he fails to equate the glamorous Trish Acker (nom de plume) with
Patricia Ackerly the girl now woman torments him big
time. Believe it, this is a delightfully funny and entertaining read with a
lovely little twist!
This novella is due for
release Nov 1st 2013 - point of sale to follow.
