Trick-or-treat through reader favorite Yule Heights Shopping Mall as a ghost from the past moves back in! This standalone short romance is both hauntingly swoon worthy and full of second chances.

Avery Rossi, owner of Pugs & Kisses Pet Store, is nonbinary and non-confrontational. Being the younger sibling of Yule Heights original Casanova, Val Rossi, the jewelry store owner, means that Avery has had to pave their own way out of their brother’s spotlight. And they did just that…into a murderer’s son’s arms.

Dr. Jekkyl Storm—or Jay, as he insists on being called—just moved back to Yule Heights after a family scandal and tragedy took him away to lick his wounds and build his optometrist business. But his wild sister needs his constant adult supervision and Jay has already spent a lifetime picking up the pieces of his broken family. Falling in love seems impossible, because who would love the cobwebs and skeletons hiding in his closet?

One Halloween contest, a guide dog, and a mass cricket exodus later…there might just be some hair-raising sensations crawling into these two store owner’s hearts.

Ghosts from the past are haunting the mall corridors as these two wounded individuals find healing in Halloween…and, maybe, one another.
