Forever After Fall

One little mistake tangles me up with a sexy stranger in a dark room. Not that I’m complaining. It’s the most fun I’ve had in forever. At least until the lights come on and I see the single dad. my best friend’s older brother and my sister’s widower, standing in his place.

He’s grumpy as hell when he realizes our mistake, and even grumpier when he finds out the two of us are stuck together for the foreseeable future setting up the fall festival at the family ranch.

Meanwhile, I’m trying to figure out how the how the man from that night is the same steadfast workaholic who eats the food I cook in silence and barely grunts when I thank him for his latest handyman miracle at my house.

No matter how hard I try, I can’t stop thinking about that night. Especially not when we’re working side by side for long hours every day planning romantic hayrides and decorating a haunted house. When I finally admit as much in a moment of weakness. we’re both making confessions that have my heart pounding.

So what if we finish what we started? A secret friends with benefits agreement that expires at midnight on Halloween. Because if we can just get it out of our minds, we can go back to business as usual. No one ever has to know.

But I’m not ready for all the secrets I uncover playing this game or for the way this man makes me feel.

And neither of us are prepared for just how haunted the house turns out to be.
