He ghosted her once. This Halloween, he’s back—and hotter than ever.
RAINEY: Midnight Springs is my home, my sanctuary, and the stage where I’ve built a life after heartbreak. I manage my grandmother’s antique shop, I act in our theater, and I don’t look back.
Not since Ransom Hollis vanished without a word ten years ago. But now he’s back—cast as the “ghost cowboy” in our Halloween festival—and suddenly I’m face-to-face with the man who once shattered me.
Every stolen glance stirs old wounds…and dangerous new desires.
And when sabotage threatens both the production and my safety, I can’t decide if I should push him away—or lean into the only arms that ever truly felt like home.
RANSOM: I thought I’d left Midnight Springs behind for good, along with the woman I couldn’t bear to face after my sudden departure.
But my father’s heart attack brought me back, and now my mother has volunteered me for a role in the town’s Halloween theater. I never expected Rainey Bell to still have such a hold on me.
She deserves answers—and protection when mysterious “accidents” start happening around her. I know I hurt her once. I know she may never forgive me. But I also know I can’t let her go again.
This time, I’m staying…and I’m ready to fight for both the town we love and the woman I never stopped loving.
