The Mysterious Gift

Romance Writers Hall of Fame Award Recipient Kathleen Creighton presents The Mysterious Gift, a holiday novella. And, as a special thank you, at the end she includes her famous Christmas cookie recipe.

DESCRIPTION:
Widowed mother Karen Todd couldn’t understand what her son found so fascinating about the mechanic’s shop and its surly proprietor, Tony D’Angelo. She told herself she only went to Angel’s Garage because it was the most convenient one, located within walking distance of both her work and her son’s school. The truth? Although intimidating, Tony D’Angelo was the best mechanic in town…. His dark Italian good looks didn’t hurt, either.

Tony D’Angelo hadn’t been able to figure out a way to get beyond a formal politeness with Karen. And he wanted to. He wanted to get all the way to the things people called each other in the velvet darkness that had no meaning to anyone but themselves.

When a Christmas package shows up on Karen’s doorstep, addressed to her son and with no return address, Karen uneasily asks for help from the one man who can figure out its mysteries - Tony D’Angelo.

Will Karen be able to lower her protective barriers long enough to discover who sent the strange package before it is too late?
