From Nadia El-Fassi, author of the spellbinding Best Hex Ever, comes a brand-new cosy paranormal romance, perfect for fans of My Roommate is a Vampire and The Pumpkin Spice Cafe.

In this cosy and spicy paranormal romance from the author of Best Hex Ever, a successful horror writer whose novel is being adapted into a movie clashes with the lead actor on set in a haunted mansion.

Rosemary is a successful horror author with a secret—she can see ghosts. So when the set of her hit novel's film adaptation turns out to be a haunted countryside manor, she's unfazed. What she's less prepared for is the maddeningly handsome, completely miscast actor playing her leading man.

Ellis is a Hollywood heartthrob tired of his action-hero persona. Instead, he dreams of being a serious actor, and having free time to spend gardening with his dog. Landing the lead in a historical horror movie is his chance to start fresh... until he discovers the author tried to have him replaced.

But as filming progresses, and the manor's ghosts make their presence known, the chemistry between Rosemary and Ellis becomes undeniable. With secrets being spilled, sparks flying, and spirits stirring up trouble, can they face their demons and write themselves a happily-ever-after before it's a wrap?

Addictive and adorable, sweet and sexy, Love at First Fright is a delicious treat! Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop

El-Fassi is a master of cosy spice! Love at First Fright strikes a perfect balance between wholesome and smutty, featuring El-Fassi's trademark chemistry (the tension!), magic, and delightful friendships. Brigitte Knightley, author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy
