Tessa Stark: Desert Heat
Special Detective Tessa Stark is called to the dusty desert town of Santa Maria to investigate the death of a local socialite and very soon finds herself with a sizable list of suspects. Wading through that list is going to be daunting task, especially given that the victim's uncle, a powerful United States Senator, doesn't trust that she can find the killer. But, perhaps even more daunting than solving a case that seems unsolvable, is having to face a piece of her past that she'd been avoiding for the last fifteen years. She can't allow the past to get in the way of her investigation, though. A young woman had been killed and a family had been left grieving, without answers and without justice. And who better to hunt down the killer and help the family begin to heal than the daughter of the infamous Robert Stark. After all, murder was in her DNA.Complete
I SAW SANTA KILL SOMEONE
Celeste Gray thought it would be nice to stay in a cabin in the woods. Being able to be alone, left with her thoughts, finding nature, and the nice cozy feeling of warmth were what she needed. Which led her to book/rent out a cabin for the whole month of December. Spending the holidays alone shouldn't be too bad. I mean, there's a reason she's alone in the first place; this is what she needed to move on with her life. So everything should be fine. Celeste was wrong about that because the moment she decided to take that trail in the woods, she knew she fucked up. Especially when she saw Santa Clause, not dropping off gifts, not with his reindeer or his sleigh, but standing over a dead body. She just saw Santa kill someone. Ji-Cheol Kim is not your average man, he does something for a living that is not for everyone, but someone has to do it, especially when it's getting justice in a way for people who deserve justice done that way. He was doing his job, which he is very good at when someone who wasn't supposed to be there ended up being there. Now his plans have changed, which led him to do something he doesn't mind doing, finally being able to spend the holidays with someone. Even if the person doesn't want that, she has no choice but to accept it. Neither of them was expecting this to happen. Two people from different worlds who ended up bumping into each other are now spending the holidays together. This was far from being a Christmas miracle.
