Santa's Curse

Book excerpt: What if Santa was a vampire? Jacquelyn, an enchantress with an overprotective streak, thinks it's up to her to protect her older sister, Jadine, an enchantress who's also a paranoid hypochondriac. So, whenever a male comes along trying to use Jadine, Jackie gets rid of them, in a non-conventional way. When the last person Jacquelyn expects, a certain vampire she's had a not so little crush on, seems to be creeping around on her sister, she has no choice but to get rid of him, too. In front of witnesses. Only to find out one second too late that she had it all wrong. Victor, like many males, has issues expressing how he truly feels. When he finally decides it's time to stop running from fate and claim his mate, he goes to her sister for advice. But, creeping in and out of Jadine's place like a thief in the night leads the very person he wants to win over to draw all the wrong conclusions. Which leads to him trading in his pale good looks for a white beard and a red velvet suit. Now that the town knows Jacquelyn is the one behind all of the disappearances, and thinking she's killed all of those that are missing, they're out for her blood. And the only one who can save her is, well, Santa. But will he be able to make it back to her before it's too late? Enjoy a brand-new tale of how Santa Clause came to be.
