Summary

What happens when the acclaimed international TV crime drama, Blue Bloods, inspires a story?
 
It brings to life Him, book two in the Illicit Things series.
 
 
 
Revenge never tasted so damn sweet…
 
Young adult author, Sean Ryan, has finally got his life under control and back on track, until she screws it all up and he’s sent down the river to purgatory. Again.
 
After spending one month in detention, he has five months of house arrest and weekly mandatory therapy for breaking into her brownstone. But all he did was steal her underwear, and set up secret surveillance cameras around her house, especially in the private boudoir and bathroom to watch her undress and shower, and to entertain men in the basement sex room. And there’s nothing wrong with that, is there?
 
Not even the police knew about these little secrets until her lawyer informed his Police Commissioner grandfather with three thick files full of photographs and legal documents spilling all of his private business, and now they’re forcing him to obey their rules.
 
Except he knows quite a few things about her, and even more about his family, and none of them would want any of it made public, so he threatens to tell all while formulating a plan for devastating revenge upon them and her.
 
One family member at a time…

    “Delicious…I defy you to stop reading The Christmas Guest once you begin.” — New York Times Book Review 
    New York Times bestselling author Peter Swanson pens a spectacularly spine-chilling novella in which an American art student in London is invited to join a classmate for the holidays at Starvewood Hall, her family’s Cotswold manor house. But behind the holly and pine boughs, secrets are about to unravel, revealing this seemingly charming English village’s grim history. 
    Ashley Smith, an American art student in London for her junior year, was planning on spending Christmas alone, but a last-minute invitation from fellow student Emma Chapman brings her to Starvewood Hall, country residence of the Chapman family. The Cotswold manor house, festooned in pine boughs and crammed with guests for Christmas week, is a dream come true for Ashley. She is mesmerized by the cozy, firelit house, the large family, and the charming village of Clevemoor, but also by Adam Chapman, Emma’s aloof and handsome brother. 
    But Adam is being investigated by the local police over the recent brutal slaying of a girl from the village, and there is a mysterious stranger who haunts the woodland path between Starvewood Hall and the local pub. Ashley begins to wonder what kind of story she is actually inhabiting. Is she in a grand romance? A gothic tale? Or has she wandered into something far more sinister and terrifying than she’d ever imagined? 
    Over thirty years later the events of that horrific week are revisited, along with a diary from that time. What began in a small English village in 1989 reaches its ghostly conclusion in modern-day New York, many Christmas seasons later.A cozy holiday read Perfect for fans of winter mysteriesA delightful Christmas gift
