Halloween just got hotter…

Welcome to Solstice Springs—where it’s Halloween year-round, pink skeletons wear beachwear, and the town's biggest debate is whether the ghosts are real or just good for business.

Wren Dunlop's summer plan was simple:

  • Hide from viral infamy ✓
  • Drink rosé by the lake ✓
  • Avoid all men forever ✓

Too bad her godmother (part-time witch and full-time Mayor) has other ideas.

Now Wren's teaching dance for the Summerween spectacular, in a studio that might be haunted, and trying very hard not to notice the mysterious new guy in town, Dane Trafford.

Between bonfire wishes and midnight confessions, fairy lights and watermelon jack-o-lanterns, Wren and Dane might just discover that Solstice Springs’ real magic isn't supernatural…

It's believing you deserve a happy ending.

About the Author

Surrounded by family, friends and books she lives in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa with her husband and two children.
