Housekeeper Under the Mistletoe Housekeeper Under the Mistletoe Cara Colter

Introduction Jefferson took a deep breath and looked into the pleading eyes of the woman who had landed, uninvited, on his doorstep. Was this who he had become? So embittered by the death of his wife that he could turn a woman so obviously terrified away from his door? “Geez …” Jefferson muttered under his breath. He was a man who made decisions every day. That was what he did for a living. His decisions often had millions of dollars riding on them, and the livelihoods of thousands of people. And yet this decision, this split-second decision, about what kind of man he would be, felt bigger than all of those. Jefferson Stone stepped back marginally from his door. It was all she needed. She catapulted over his threshold and into his house. Into his life, he told himself grimly. “Thank you,” she breathed. “Nothing has been decided,” he told her gruffly, though somehow he knew it had been. And she knew it, too. She was beaming at him. “It’s not going to be a walk in the park,” he told her. He was already annoyed that his decision had been based on a moment of pure emotion, not rationale. He had to get things back on track and make sure she was aware this was a professional arrangement.

Jefferson Stone stepped back marginally from his door. It was all she needed. She catapulted over his threshold and into his house.

And she knew it, too. She was beaming at him.

“It’s not going to be a walk in the park,” he told her. He was already annoyed that his decision had been based on a moment of pure emotion, not rationale. He had to get things back on track and make sure she was aware this was a professional arrangement.

CHAPTER ONE

“UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES,” Angelica Witherspoon muttered to herself, as she drove down a main street where the summer sun was filtered through a thick green canopy of leaves, “this is the kind of place I would adore.”

The city of Nelson was nestled in the Selkirk mountain range of British Columbia. It was quaint and charming.

She angle parked her car and noted plenty of activity on the wide sidewalks in front of historical buildings. It made her feel safe enough to vacate her car and get out and stretch. Her muscles were cramped with tension. In the distance, she could catch glimpses of the sparkling waters of the west arm of Kootenay Lake.
