Emily knew there would be strings attached when she relocated to the small town of Willow Creek, Maryland, for the summer to help her sister recover from an accident, but who could anticipate getting roped into volunteering for the local Renaissance Faire alongside her teenaged niece? Or that the irritating and inscrutable schoolteacher in charge of the volunteers would be so annoying that she finds it impossible to stop thinking about him? The faire is Simon's family legacy and from the start he makes clear he doesn't have time for Emily's lighthearted approach to life, her oddball Shakespeare conspiracy theories, or her endless suggestions for new acts to shake things up. Yet on the faire grounds he becomes a different person, flirting freely with Emily when she's in her revealing wench's costume. But is this attraction real, or just part of the characters they're portraying? This summer was only ever supposed to be a pit stop on the way to somewhere else for Emily, but soon she can't seem to shake the fantasy of establishing something more with Simon, or a permanent home of her own in Willow Creek. All's faire in love and war for two sworn enemies who indulge in a harmless flirtation in a laugh-out-loud rom-com from debut author, Jen DeLuca.

Everyone knows that demons don’t exist. They live in the same realm of superstitious beliefs alongside unicorns, Big Foot and Santa Claus. Any stories that you hear about haunted dolls, Ouija boards or whispering into mirrors at midnight are just that. Stories. Harmless hypotheticals for the brain to indulge in when it has nothing better to do. For Ancient History & Occult Sciences major, and granddaughter of a mortician, Quincey Sterling, this has always been painfully obvious. As far as she is concerned, spooky occurrences and paranormal events can always be chalked up to coincidence and the mind playing a few cruel tricks on itself, just for the hell of it. So, when she stumbles across an ancient spell book on Halloween, some supernatural themed fun feels both seasonally appropriate and a little too irresistible to refuse. When an unexpected visitor turns up at her door, she finds herself stuck in a contract with a monster worse than nightmares. Quincey’s only option is to see her bargain through. But surviving a monster is easy when your life is already hell. After a string of distressing incidents that draws her and her companion closer together, Quincey finds her stoic cynicism wavering for the first time. Unfortunately, she’s not the only one who knows about the book. Sought out by a malicious cult, Quincey will do anything to protect her new life and the beautiful monster that makes it worth living.
