A Victorian mansion outside Aspen Falls, Colorado, is revamped into a hotel full of spooky gimmicks, but when Ashley Hart visits, she witnesses a very real murder.

Veterinarian Ashley Hart expects the unexpected when hoteliers TJ and Carla Lindell invite her to join them on opening night at their “haunted” Victorian hotel, as they reenact the fatal tragedy that befell the original owners in the late 1800s. Ashley and her boyfriend, handsome park ranger Cole Hawke, get more than they bargained for, however, when they witness TJ shot dead before their eyes—and it’s definitely not an act. Ashley and Cole soon realize that TJ’s death was no accident, and someone close to him carefully plotted his cold-blooded murder.

Ashley and Cole quickly become embroiled in the investigation and hope they can help authorities get to the bottom of the ghastly crime. Unfortunately, someone at Caswell Manor keeps trying to frighten them off with increasingly sinister deeds. Can Ashley uncover the killer before someone else dies, or will her attempts at solving the case come back to haunt her . . . with deadly consequences?

Christmastime goes from merry to deadly for veterinarian Ashley Hart, who must search for a missing rare-breed cat while working to get her boyfriend off the hook for a murder he didn’t commit.

Christmas is a magical time in Aspen Falls, Colorado … especially this year, when veterinarian Ashley Hart is on call to help a rare exotic cat named Selene welcome her first litter of kittens. Unfortunately, the holidays quickly go from nice to naughty when someone kidnaps Selene and assaults Ashley. In a dreadful twist nobody sees coming, her boyfriend, Cole, discovers a local cat breeder murdered . . . and the police arrest him for homicide.

Ashley finds herself in a race against the clock to save the endangered feline and exonerate the love of her life. All Ashley wants for Christmas is to protect Selene and to bring Cole home for the holidays, but with danger lurking around every corner, she must tread carefully— otherwise, the season she expected to be merry and bright could become dark and deadly, indeed.
