He's the sweetest scare...
 
Charlotte Winters is running from her life—a panic attack in a boardroom will do that to you. All she wants is a quiet week to decompress at a quaint country inn. What she gets is Willowbrook Haunt: a Halloween-themed Victorian B&B complete with screaming barn owls, motion-sensor zombies, and a prank-loving nine-year-old who's convinced the resident ghost is a matchmaker.
 
Ben Holloway has been keeping his world small since losing his wife—just him, his daughter Emma, and the B&B that saved them both. He's not looking for romance. But when a sharp-tongued city woman arrives at 2 AM and proves she's not afraid of fake blood or his daughter's elaborate scare tactics, suddenly his carefully constructed life feels too small.
 
With a town Halloween fundraiser looming and Emma playing enthusiastic wingwoman, Charlotte finds herself painting tombstones, perfecting her creepy fortune teller voice, and falling dangerously hard for a man in a Victorian costume. The only question is: can a woman who's spent years running from her feelings finally stay put long enough to be haunted by love?
 
Perfect for fans of cozy small-town romance, found family feels, and couples who fall in love over corn syrup fake blood.
