The Christmas Target

{"contributor_id":"101009","name":"Charlotte Douglas","first":"Charlotte","last":" Douglas","seo":"charlotte-douglas","role":"A01","hide":false,"reference_id":null,"bio":"Charlotte was born in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, but moved to the West Coast of Florida when she was eight years old. She learned to read at age three and always had her nose in a book. It was inevitable that some day she would write one.

Charlotte enjoyed the experience of growing up with her five brothers and sisters in a small beach community where she played clarinet in the school band, earned her varsity letter on the tennis team, and was editor of her high school newspaper.

After high school graduation, she earned her B.S. degree in English from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. While still in college, she married her high school sweetheart, also a student at UNC, and they moved into married student housing. During their college summers, they worked as lookouts for the U.S. Forest Service in Northwest Montana, a setting Charlotte has used for her books.

Charlotte taught middle school English, speech, and drama for 14 years, and taught college English for three years at St. Petersburg Junior College. She also worked for eight years as a church musician, directing both adult and children's choirs, and handbell choirs. She loves both teaching and music, but always had the dream of writing books of her own.

That dream was fulfilled in 1991 when her first book, Secrets in the Shadows, was published under the pseudonym Marina Malcolm. She has used her own name on all of her subsequent books. Most of her books are a mix of danger, romance, and suspense. In 1995 her first book for Harlequin was released, an American Romance, It's About Time.

Today Charlotte lives with her husband, Bill, and their two cairn terriers, Dandi and MacArthur, on Florida's West Coast, just a few miles from the town where she grew up. Her husband is the executive director of the National Armed Services and Law Enforcement Museum. Their favorite pastime is planning the summer home they will build on eight wooded acres of a mountain that overlooks the Blue Ridge Parkway in Western North Carolina.","bio_short":"","image":"https://i.harperapps.com/hcanz/authors/0007229/x145.jpg","on_tour":false,"featured":false,"deceased":false,"sensitivity":"0","locale":"","custom":{"algoliaKey":"cdaf01591d04f9399e5e55ebccf22a69-0","export_hash":"9438cc2f1b3cbd6b785725a6137c65c1528e701e185f4ff20c858130a4af5d70"},"events":null,"awards":null,"assets":[{"id":"214246-101009","asset_id":"101009","asset":{"id":"214246","unique":"x500-charlotte-douglas-Contributors","name":"charlotte-douglas-author-photo","description":null,"type":"image","sub_type":"author-photo","order":"1","size":"500","height":null,"width":"500","embed":null,"path":"https://i.harperapps.com/hcanz/authors/0007229/x145.jpg","source":"new-image-import","schedule":"2025-04-13 00:00:00"}}],"books":[{"description":"
FOR JESSICA,

Who'd Been Sleeping in Her Bed?

When Tory Caswell attended her sister's wedding in a magical old Victorian resort, her mind was filled with images of bouquets and garters. But when she awakened the next morning, she thought she was still dreaming. Because a gray–eyed hunk was sharing her pillow!

SPRING BREAKDOWN

It's springtime again, and all P.I. Maggie Skerritt and her charmingly levelheaded business partner and fiancé, Bill Malcolm, can do is hope that rite of passage infamously known as spring break is quiet and painless. Luckily, as the week progresses, Maggie and Bill find the influx of college kids committing only minor offenses, albeit they're piling up like empty kegs at a frat party.

If only life could remain that simple…

While the tourists wreak mostly harmless havoc, the murder of a woman and her possible connection to a local politician grabs all Maggie's attention. And when that same connection leads her and Bill back to the unsolved case that changed–and still haunts–both their lives, Maggie suddenly wishes party patrol was all she had to worry about.

Assignment:
To unlock the secrets of a woman

More than muscles and a handsome face, Jordan was a professional protector. And while the cop in him wanted to know what caused a beautiful woman's amnesia, the man in him wanted to know how she did what no other had made him feel alive again.

She couldn't recall who she was or why she'd come looking for Jordan, but without him she'd surely fall victim to the killers who pursued her. She had no choice but to trust Jordan to keep her safe.

Under the same roof imprisoned by the same four walls evading determined pursuers they were strangers no more. And their passion was the only certainty in the face of an unknown threat.

Bittersweet reunion.

Five years ago, Catherine Erickson’s world shattered the day she learned her fiancé, Lieutenant Ryan Christopher, had been killed in an embassy explosion. She’d lost the man she loved — and the father of her unborn child. And it wasn’t until the mysterious Trace Gallagher showed up on her ranch with his hauntingly familiar eyes and gentle touch, that she even dared to think about long-forgotten desires...

Seeing Cat again was like coming home. And learning he had a daughter made hiding his identity pure torture. But as a soldier he had a job to do: protect the Ericksons from a man hell-bent on revenge — at all costs.That meant keeping his feelings locked away, no matter how much they begged for release. Or how badly he ached to love Cat once again...

In saving Celia, he’d saved himself.

Unconscious and wearing a torn wedding dress, Celia Stevens washed up on the shores of Solitaire and threw Cameron Alexander’s peaceful seclusion into complete chaos. Not only did her presence force him to re-examine his reasons for hiding out, but within days the walls around Cameron’s hardened heart slowly began to crumble...

Celia sensed her enigmatic captor had a dangerous past, one she’d be better off not learning. And yet, it was Cameron’s tough exterior as well as his tortured soul that made Celia long to spend a lifetime wrapped in his arms. But just as a future together looked possible, the evil that Cameron had feared for six years reared its ugly head, threatening the dreams they had dared to dream...

Foe Jessica, from your Secret Santa

The note was accompanied by a single red rose on a white satin pillow. For Miami businesswoman Jessica Landon, the gesture was anything but romantic. She’d been in snowy Montana less than a day, and already she’d become the target of a rifle-toting Santa, then run off the road and left for dead. Her protection through the holidays was sexy-as-sin cowboy cop Ross McGarrett — a man with a tragic past and a motherless young daughter…

Ross liked city women and warm, tumbled beds. And Jessica fit him and his bed to a tee. With Christmas approaching, Ross dared to believe in love again — but could he keep Jessica safe through the silent and deadly night?
