Sebastian’s masculinity pulled at her. Yearning, stronger than she’d experienced in years, flooded her. Spending the night with this man, exploring every facet of his supernatural existence, amplified her need and desire.
“You are very beautiful, Jodie.” She smiled, and twined her fingers with his.
He probably said the same to every woman he encountered, but she didn’t care. Tonight was for her…hell, for them both. She wouldn’t shatter the moment. “Thank you, Sebastian.”
“What brought you here?”
“My friend arranged it as a Christmas gift.” Jodie blushed. “I tend not to put myself first. Work and home is about all the adventures in my life these days.” She chuckled, embarrassed.
“The stupidity of today’s men to not vie for your attention is my gain. I’m so very glad you’re here.”
A wave of pleasure spread through her. He understood. It made him all the more attractive.

About A Ghost for Christmas
Paranormal Erotic Romance.

Sebastian is sophisticated, tall, dark and gorgeous–everything a woman fantasizes about. But he’s also an 18^th century ghost. He haunts the halls of the hotel, seeking the one true love that can help him find peace…

My Sexy Saturday Page Header #3 Hello everyone! Thank you for joining me for the 121st week of My Sexy Saturday.

Here are the details: every Saturday, published and unpublished authors will be sharing 7 words, sentences, or paragraphs from a work-in-progress or an already published story.

This week’s theme: Her Sexy Fantasy

Today’s sexy is from A Ghost for Christmas. Jodie has just met the ghost who appears every Christmas, and he’s a charming rake … *g*

“Please tell me how all this is possible.”
“I died on December 24th, 1811.” He smiled reassuringly when she gasped. “It’s all right, my dear, it wasn’t a tragic death. I came to the hotel to write. I was in the middle of penning a story of my family’s history. I loved this place for the inspiration of the view outside but my heart wasn’t good. I was born with a bad heart and was blessed to have lived thirty years.”
Sadness filled Jodie. So young…. “How is it that you’re still here?”
“I’m not sure. After I died, I floated. I feel I’ve been floating forever. I’m not sure if there is another side or plane I’m supposed to be on, but I’ve always remained in this hotel. Every ten years, I find myself in front of this window or sitting at the desk writing.”
“What about the articles? All the women who have seen you?” Jodie couldn’t understand it. She didn’t read ghost stories, never paid much attention to those who said they had something paranormal happen to them. She didn’t know anything about the “other side” or about ghosts or how humans were able to see them. She was totally out of her depth with all this.
“Oh, a man has to find his pleasure. Even as a ghost.” He smirked mischievously. Jodie couldn’t help giggle. He was a fine specimen of male goodness. Strong and lean, feet bare, his trousers fit him like a well-worn glove and showed off muscular thighs. He was gorgeous.
A shiver ran down her spine. “So all the women…you and they…”
He snickered. “Oh yes, some of the best evenings I’ve found here have been in the arms of women who are lonely and looking for a night in a man’s arms who will show them pure passion and just how special they are.”
Jodie blushed. He’d practically described everything she was feeling, and fantasies she had.

#MySexySaturday from A Ghost for Christmas #MSSAuthors #MSS120 @MySexySaturday

Posted in Kacey Hammell, My Sexy Saturday, romance by kaceyhammell

Hello everyone! Thank you for joining me for the 120th week of My Sexy Saturday.

Here are the details: every Saturday, published and unpublished authors will be sharing 7 words, sentences, or paragraphs from a work-in-progress or an already published story.

Today’s sexy is from A Ghost for Christmas. Not a sci-fi romance, however, ghosts are a part of our huge galaxy, right? *g*

Jodie stood at the window in the sitting area, admiring the splendid view. Although she’d been there once before with her parents, she now held a greater appreciation for the beauty. At eight, she remembered the sound of water rushing over the Falls, but couldn’t recall any of the amazing lights dazzling the night sky now that the sun was setting. The night was made for lovers—young or old. Warmth spread through her as she watched a few couples, bundled up, walking hand in hand or with their arms wrapped around one another. They reminded her of her parents.

Married nearly fifty years, they never ceased to amaze her with their love for one another. Whether it was affectionate glances, playful swats when something was humorous or the lip-locks shared when they thought no one was looking, they’d taught her so much about love and respect. While she was nowhere near ready for kids and marriage, the day would come when she’d find the man with whom to spend the rest of her life.

She scoffed at herself for thinking such deep thoughts when tonight was about fantasies and not happily ever after. She focused on the rushing water once again. After her long soak in the massive tub, she’d towel-dried her body and wound her hair tight within a second one. Her long, thick dark locks sometimes took an hour or more to dry so she’d had to wind it snug as possible in the hopes of straightening the wavy mess before it turned frizzy.

Lost in thought and in the view outside, Jodie gasped as a cold breeze moved over her body. She shivered but remained still. The hotel really played up the stories. Somewhere, someone was probably sending cold air into the room to make her think she shared the suite with a specter.

Too bad they chose the wrong woman to mess with. She wouldn’t fall for it.

Suddenly, as she peered into the reflective glass, a face appeared behind her. Jodie whipped around and fell back against the window.

Oh my fucking God!

Mid Week Tease: “Ghost Fulfills Every Fantasy.” #AGhostforChristmas #MWTease

Posted in Contemporary Erotic Romance, Evernight Publishing, Kacey Hammell, Mid Week Tease, romance by kaceyhammell

Happy Wednesday Friends! I hope everyone is doing great!

Special thanks to Sandra Bunino for rallying authors together to share teases every week.

~~~~~~~

Jodie received a wonderful gift from her friend, Portia for Christmas. Time away in swank hotel in Niagara Falls. Jodie never expected her trip to take such an exciting turn…

She walked through the suite to the first door on the left. It looked like a den or small office.
Striking blue and silver colors filled the room, giving it a masculine feel. A large, possibly Victorian, antique writing desk sat in the corner, complete with pen and quill. Jodie walked A Ghost For Christmas closer and ran her hand over the fine, dark finish. Beautiful, intricate and ornate designs were carved on the solid hardwood. Eighteenth century black armchairs sat in front of the desk and in corners.
The plush room invited and pulled her in. Jodie turned, her gaze drawn to the framed newspaper clippings hanging on the walls. Curious, she moved closer.
Woman Meets the Ghost of her Dreams In Hotel.
What the heck? Jodie peered intently at the picture taken of this very building. She looked at the second frame. Ghost Fulfills Every Fantasy. Again, the Castillo Hotel was featured in the article.
She ran her gaze swiftly over each of the wall hangings and noted at least a dozen headlines mentioning the ghost. Women came to this hotel and found a night full of passion, realized fantasies, and left with memories they’d carry forever.
A chill ran down her spine. Looking back at each one, she read the small caption at the bottom. She gasped as she noted each ghostly sighting was in Suite 3023.

#MySexySaturday ~ A Ghost for Christmas #MSSAuthors #MSS116 @MySexySaturday

Posted in Kacey Hammell, My Sexy Saturday, romance by kaceyhammell

Hello everyone! Thank you for joining me for the 116th week of My Sexy Saturday. And it is my first time participating in this fun blog hop.

Here are the details: every Saturday, published and unpublished authors will be sharing 7 words, sentences, or paragraphs from a work-in-progress or an already published story.

Today’s theme is…

Our Sexy Halloween

Since I do not have a Halloween specific story, I thought I’d at least go with the closest thing to spooky as I could get. A Ghost for Christmas is one of the most fun stories I’ve written to date. Sebastian was so much fun, a ghost who appears at the same time every year, and this time with Jodi, things take an interesting turn. Here’s their first meeting, and Jodie’s reaction to him…

As she peered into the reflective glass, a face appeared behind her. Jodie whipped around and fell back against the window.

Oh my fucking God!

Before her, in what looked like a shimmering bubble, stood the most breathtakingly beautiful man she’d ever seen. Dressed in a white shirt and black pants, he had dark unruly hair and striking, magnetic blue eyes that held her in place.

Jodie blinked, uncertain, scared and breathless. How was it possible? She’d read the newspaper clippings, yes, but it was unimaginable to think ghosts might actually walk among the living. Not everything made sense. She only believed in things that could actually be seen, felt and touched. This seemed surreal.

Stunned by the apparition before her, dressed in what looked like centuries-old clothes straight out of Esquire, he seemed to look straight through her, and his smile warmed her clear to her toes. Lord, she was in trouble.

“Hello.” Soft and gravelly, his voice alone seduced her…all the way to her toes. Her body quivered and her center tightened.

Whoa. What the hell am I thinking? There’s a ghost in front of me and I’m ready to jump his bones. Not bloody likely.

“What are you doing here? Get out. I don’t care who you are, you’re leaving, right now.”
He frowned. “No need to be frightened. I’ve been here for centuries.”
Jodie laughed, and not one to wilt like a scared little girl, stood tall. “This is all a joke.” She looked around, up and down, and all over the room. “Are there hidden cameras somewhere? Hey, Ashton, if you’re behind the camera, you can come out now. I’ve been Punk’d good. Thanks and all, but I’d like to get on with my evening without you.”
“Who is this Ashton? What is a punk? A rake, perhaps?” he asked.
Jodie squinted. “A rake?” She hadn’t ever heard that term spoken, but had read it in historical romances. No one talked like that these days. “No. Never mind, it’s not important. Listen, I just want you to go. I want to enjoy my evening.”
His smile was gentle. “I’m sorry, my dear, but this evening every decade is the only time I am visible to the human eye. I never miss a chance to watch the Falls.”
Every decade…
“You’re telling me you do this every ten years? How old are you?”
“I was born in 1781. That makes me—”
“Two hundred thirty-one,” Jodie whispered, legs weak. She grabbed the back of the chair nearby and sat down. Were such things even possible?
Jesus.
An eighteenth century ghost stood before her.
Merry Christmas to me.

#TakeaPeek at Sidelined Afterlife by Joya Fields @JoyaFields

Posted in Decadent Publishing, Guest Author, Kacey Hammell, romance, Take a Peek by kaceyhammell

Sidelined Afterlife by Joya Fields
~A contemporary romance with a ghostly twist.~

Blurb:
Psychic and medium Veronica Matthews hates being able to communicate with the dead and the nearly departed. What good is it if she can’t lead the police to the victims of violent crimes before they die? But when her neighbor comes to her for help, she’s torn—until she understands that the ghost haunting him is more dangerous than any she’s encountered….

After losing his wife in a tragic accident, ER doctor Hunter Anderson’s only solace is his work and a ghost is jeopardizing that. Turning to his neighbor seems like his only choice, but spending time with the passionate woman, and her sassy attitude, might do more than save his life…

She can’t risk her heart. He’s afraid to love and lose again. Can a ghost help these two souls to live again?

Excerpt:
“I am an idiot. The biggest idiot ever. If you want me to pierce something for you, to prove I’m an idiot, I have some sterilized instruments upstairs in my apartment.”

Her tongue poked against her cheek, signaling a laugh that wanted to erupt. Suddenly, he really wanted to be the one who could make her laugh. “Maybe I could do your lower lip?”

Her short laugh erupted. A sweet, melodic sound that filled the small apartment.

His gaze stayed on that full mouth and he lifted his fingers closer, compelled to touch her. She stared at him with wide eyes as he traced the corner of her mouth lightly with his finger.

“I’m a liar. I could never tarnish something as beautiful as this.”

Christ. What a line. Where had those words come from? But he meant it.

Her breath was hot against his finger as he traced the line of her lower lip. Her gaze held his. His stomach growled again, breaking the spell, and she blinked and leaned against the sofa.

“You know what? We never had dessert,” she said.

He had room for dessert. But not the food kind. He swallowed to quell his appetite for her. “Uh…how about I make an ice cream run? Then we’ll get to work.” Enough of this temptation. He needed to get away from her, from this pull she had on his body and emotions.
