“Halloweentown if it was a Hallmark movie with spice” Nothing beats Halloween in Hallow Falls. As October 1st rolls around, the dropping temperature and falling leaves awaken the magical, little town in anticipation of their favorite holiday. As Remi, the local B&B-owning vampire, prepares the Dead and Breakfast for yet another amazing Halloween season, she’s also buzzing with excitement as she plans her big love confession to the local animal shelter owner. However, she has no idea that a new guest is arriving today—one that is about to throw the biggest wrench possible in every plan she has for the month. Who is this guest, you may ask? None other than the grandson of one of her longest-standing friends. Jack, the witchy boy who has spent his entire life in the human realm, is excited to spend his first October in Hallow Falls—at his grandmother’s request. He expected the fundraisers, Halloween creatures, and chilly weather. What he didn’t expect, however, was the adorably enticing, five-foot-nothing vampire. Oh, and he definitely didn’t expect his grandma to be dead set on him settling down in town, which is made evident by the endless list of blind dates she has lined up for him—a surprising turn of events that Remi finds overwhelmingly hilarious. Unfortunately for her, it’s this exact turn of events—and several hard apple ciders—that lands Remi locked in a fake dating deal with Jack that she can’t escape. For the Love of Fritters & Frights is a fun, almost cozy Halloween novella that will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy just in time for the holiday. It’s perfect for those who need a nice little romantic pallet cleanser chock full of cozy, fall vibes, fun Halloween events, and a variety of amusing creatures.

Ara Starrin’s entire life has been a lie. Hidden in the shadow of her controlling father, General Evander of Auryna, Ara has never tasted true freedom. For most of her life, she’s been locked away in his estate as he is determined to protect her from the bloodthirsty Fae across the border. But as her twenty-sixth birthday comes and goes, he decides it's time for her to marry, against her wishes and completely unbeknownst to her. Ara’s fate is sealed the moment he announces her engagement. Rogue Draki’s entire life has been a painful truth. Raised at the hands of his father, the merciless king of Ravaryn, Rogue has never tasted an ounce of kindness. Now that his father is dead, the crown has been thrust upon him, and it is his responsibility to save his people from the wrath of Auryna. It is for that reason he crosses the border into Auryna to spy on the court in the Capitol—for secrets, leverage, anything. Rogue’s fate is sealed the moment he lays eyes on Ara Starrin.

Rogue and Ara have fought tooth and nail for each other and their people, defying even death in their pursuit of peace and love. But when their bond was finally solidified, another chain was broken, and Rogue’s hidden magic was released—a shock that no one, not even Rogue himself, saw coming. Now, with broken curses, a powerful mate bond, and two lines of ancient magic, Rogue and Ara must tread carefully through uncharted territory to find the one thing that could turn the tides in their an impossibly lost object, one that’s been forgotten to time but needed now more than ever—and they must do so before Adonis’ armies rise again, the ever-present threat on the horizon.
