Are you ready for spooky season? 🎃
🎃 Hi there. Are you having a good week so far? Fall is in the air as the leaves start to fall from the trees and the nights are getting darker, earlier. It’s still unreasonably humid though. I want some cool rainy weather to get in the autumnal mood!
Thank you for your wonderful suggestions for the pet’s name in Curvy Girl and the Demon. I think the MMC may need to have more than one pet!
The week before Halloween, I find out two things. One, my gorgeous grumpy neighbor is an actual demon. Two, he says touching me would damn him forever... uh-oh!
Growing up, my grandma used to whisper stories about how some monsters look exactly like men. I never believed her. According to her, Snowflake Falls has always had a… spooky side. The kind you don’t talk about unless you want trouble finding you. I never believed a word of it.
Then I meet my neighbor.
He’s a big, gorgeous grump. Every time I smile at him, his jaw tightens like he’s fighting the urge to drag me against the wall and kiss me senseless. Apparently, demons aren’t supposed to crave humans, especially not curvy girls in tiny Halloween costumes.
He keeps warning me away. It's too bad I’ve never been very good at listening...
💞 The Wildwood Alphas series is complete! Don’t miss these seven stories where rugged mountain men fall fast, hard and forever!
🔥 My friend Cassi Hart has this zero penny mountain man story available now!
😍 My friend Iris West has this sizzling secret pregnancy story called Claimed by the Ruthless Hitman out now!
I'm fourteen years older than Elsie Palmer, I've got more blood on my hands than I can count, and for two years I convinced myself that was reason enough to stay away from her. Then I find her alone, pregnant with my twins, running from a man who's made her life a nightmare, and every reason I had for walking away stops mattering.
I bring her to my cabin to keep her safe. I don't expect her stubborn optimism getting past every wall I've built, or her steady belief that I'm worth something to make me start believing it too. I've spent my whole life being useful. I've never once been chosen.
Elsie makes me want to be chosen. She makes me want a family, a future, a version of myself that isn't just a weapon with a good reputation.
But her stalker isn't done with her. And I'm not the kind of man who lets anyone take what's finally mine.
Have a wonderful weekend!

🧙♀️ P.S. Spooky season has got me thinking about witchy movies like Practical Magic and Hocus Pocus. Has anyone seen Practical Magic 2? Is it worth seeing at the movie theater? I thought the first one was so much fun, but not sure whether to wait until the new one comes out on a streaming service or not.
