About the book
Scared Smitten
Count down to romance in 31 sealed chapters! Heather feels other people’s feelings and is open to messages from the beyond. Calvin is an aspiring journalist and lives by facts alone. In a season where mischief and mystery are all around and nothing is quite as it seems, can they find common ground and maybe even love?
Granite Ridge is gearing up for Halloween and the town is aglow with all things spooky, festive and fall. October Moon Farm is the ultimate destination: a picturesque apple farm and pumpkin patch serving up scares along with cider donuts and corn maze mysteries in its famously over-the-top haunted house, The Bloody Barn. This spooky season, loner empath Heather and new-kid-in-town Calvin take jobs in the haunted house, but they get more than they bargained for: They learn that the farm was home to a woman tried for witchcraft in the 1800’s and someone—or something—is definitely haunting the place today. As Heather and Calvin work together to solve the mystery, they find themselves growing closer. Turns out, ghosts aren’t the only things that can creep up on you—so can love.
Open one sealed chapter each day from October 1 until Halloween!
• Opposites Attract: Heather can feel people’s energies and is open to the idea of ghosts and the supernatural. Calvin deals in facts and the empirical, seeking to uncover the “truth” behind paranormal goings-on on the farm. Neither can deny that something out of the ordinary is happening, and their shared interest pushes them together.
• Forced Proximity: Simmering tension threatens to bubble over with missed signals and miscommunications aplenty!
• Slow Burn: Heather and Calvin’s romance brews slowly, like a witch’s potion in a cauldron.
