Catch That Santa
by
Karen Docter
Description
When widow, Sara
Marks, hears her Grams has gone on the lam from Happy Acres Residence on
Christmas Eve – on Santa’s arm, no less - she teams up with sexy stranger,
Francisco de la Vega, to chase the couple down with one thing in mind. Keep her
Grams from becoming Mrs. Claus. Of course, Francisco's grandfather is not
really Santa Claus, but Grams did run off to Vegas to marry him and she's
obviously not in her right mind.
Sara leaves her
seven-month-old baby, Lanie, with a friend and she and Cisco head west in the
worst snowstorm in decades, chasing his grandfather's '57 Ford Fairlane over
the river and through the woods.
Will they catch
Santa and his crazy Mrs. Claus before it's too late? Or will love stop them in
their tracks?
Excerpt
“What do you mean, Grams ran off with Santa Claus?” Sara Marks stared at
the first floor orderly, Buddy Cantor, who’d met her outside her grandmother’s
room at Happy Acres Residence. She could barely catch her breath after dashing
through the facility carrying her sleeping baby. It had taken her a full thirty
minutes to drive from the church near her apartment across Denver’s snow packed
streets in her crotchety, old Ford, when it should have taken ten. Twenty
minutes too long if her grandmother was truly missing.
She should never have gone to the Christmas
Eve service. She’d suspected Grams was up to something when she called and told
her to come later so she could take a nap before their planned dinner
together. There was something in her voice, but Sara hadn’t paid enough
attention with little Lanie fussing in her ear. “Next thing you’ll tell me is
Santa took her to the North Pole in a sleigh pulled by reindeer.”
“No. A gold ’57 Ford Fairlane convertible.”
The man shuffled uneasily in the doorway. “And they’re headed to Vegas. We
think.”
“Vegas.” Movement in her arms made her aware
Lanie was fully awake and ready to play. She grinned up at Sara with two shiny
new bottom teeth, like she’d woken up just to laugh at her great-grandma’s
latest flight of fancy.
Oh, Grams, what have you done?

About the Author
Karen Docter writes two different kinds of romance novels:
Books of Danger, Romantic Suspense: Women
hunted by killers...men who'd die to protect them. Killing Secrets falls into this category. Watch out for its release
very soon.
Books of Heat, Contemporary Romance: The
lighter side of romance - Not a killer in sight...unless it's killer heat! Satin
Pleasures falls into this category.
Karen's contemporaries are cute and spicy,
romantic comedies. She loves writing about real men and women with dreams and
goals that don't allow for a relationship just so she can throw them in each
other's path...with a tickle and a smile. Satin
Pleasures, one of her four Romance Writers of America® Golden Heart®
Best Short Contemporary finalist novels, debuted on Amazon February 2012.
Her romantic suspense novels are also filled
with heat, although the dangers the hero and heroine face are intense, usually
because a serial killer is bent on ending one or both of their lives before
they can fall in love. These are psychological, woman-in-jeopardy stories. Killing Secrets, the first of her
Thorne's Thorns series about six brothers and the women they'd die to protect,
will be released soon.
Her current release, Catch That Santa, is a holiday contemporary romance novelette of approximately 17,000 (50 pages).
Karen enjoys writing both sides of the line
between light and dark romance. When she's not saving her characters or helping
them fall in love, she loves camping and fishing with her family, reading,
gardening and cooking. If she can do most of those things over a campfire, all
the better!
