Halloween Romance in Hollow Pines

June Bellweather watches the Grange hall roof cave in the morning before opening day. The only land big enough to save her grandmother’s festival belongs to the grumpiest man in Hollow Pines.

With thirty-one days on the clock, a Halloween romance is the last thing June has time for.

Beck Harlan grows apples, avoids people, and hasn’t come near the festival since the night it broke his heart in front of everyone he knows. Still, he agrees to host it on his farm. His terms fit on one yellow legal pad: eleven rules, and the last one is underlined twice.

Soon June is sleeping in the cottage behind his cider barn, losing arguments to a goat named Margaret, and finding out that the resident grump saves his smiles for when he thinks nobody is looking. But June is keeping a secret from Boston. And Beck swore he would never walk the Lantern Walk again.

If the festival doesn’t break even, the council sells the grounds for good. By Halloween night, June will have to choose what she wants for herself, and Beck will have to find out whether he can say yes out loud.

A cozy, clean small-town romance with forced proximity on a working orchard, a town that can’t mind its own business, hayrides, a haunted barn, and a happily ever after.

Start reading today and spend October with June and Beck.
