'Tis the season for death, taxes, and maybe even love under
the mistletoe...
Death, Taxes, and Mistletoe Mayhem is a brand–new
holiday novella from award–winning author Diane Kelly!
Christmas is fast approaching when IRS Special Agent Tara is
assigned a new case involving a jewelry wholesaler who's
repeatedly claimed large theft losses on her tax returns.
Was Nadine Gramercy really robbed, or were the thefts a mere
ruse to pocket tax–free profits? Tara believes Nadine
belongs at the top of Santa's "naughty" list. Her
investigation takes her to Chisholm Trail mall, where she
meets Fort Worth Police Officer Megan Luz and her fluffy
K–9 partner, Brigit. Though Megan believes Tara is
barking up the wrong tree, she agrees to provide backup if a
bust goes down. Moreover, they decide to team up as
matchmakers to find love for Chris Rasmussen, a pediatric
nurse who moonlights at the mall playing Santa Claus. Chris
has a warm heart and a body that's hot enough to melt to the
polar ice caps. This sexy–yet–sad shopping mall
Santa was recently dumped by his fickle fiancée, leaving the
not–so–old elf more jilted than jolly. Can Tara
and Megan solve the crime...and lift Santa's spirits in time
for Christmas?
