Sometimes the only way to forget the ghosts of the past is to face the curse of love head on.
Artist Vi Keller made a holy vow to never return to her quirky hometown of Devils Hollow. But when the sister she left behind pleads for help during the busy Halloween season, Vi can’t say no. Even if it means a month of watching her ex-BFF Max loving someone new…and braving the darkness awaiting her return.
Max has fantasized about Vi every day since she disappeared. Some of those dreams revolve around revenge, but when Vi shows up at his historic bed and breakfast, his thoughts take a steamier turn. She may still own his heart, but he rebuilt life without her and doesn’t need a blonde bombshell with tempting artwork skin to wreck him again.
When Vi and Max are forced to partner up during the seasonal festivities, it’s just like old times, resurrecting a desire that never died. But happily-ever-afters in Devils Hollow are paid in blood and bones. Missing pets, tourist attractions turning sinister, and shadows stalking the lake point to Vi’s worst fear—the spirit that failed to destroy her once has neither forgiven nor forgotten. If Max and Vi can’t untangle the tragic past of a local urban legend, they’ll lose more than a second chance at love.

EXCERPT
“What did you wish for?” she whispered, helpless to stop her tongue.
Max eased an inch closer, and it was all she could do not to fist his coat and pull him down to her. Last night, while trapped behind the curtain, the tourists had saved her skin by making a racket, a slap back to reality. Tonight, alone with Max in a private graveyard shown by reservation only, she had no one to rescue her from herself.
“That’s a very personal question, sweeting.” He brushed her cheek with the back of his hand, and her skin tingled, warming beneath his touch. “The real question is what will you give to know the answer?”
Anything. She swallowed hard. Nothing.
About the Author
Once upon a time, a girl with flat hobbit feet dreamed of adventures in the woods with an elven hero, fighting off orcs and saving magical rings. All grown up now, C.J. Burright resides in Oregon (at least she got the trees). While she faces her duties at the law office day job, she avoids writing legal thrillers and instead turns toward romance—contemporary (sometimes with a supernatural flair), paranormal or fantasy. With a 5th Dan Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, it’s no surprise she prefers feisty heroines who aren’t afraid to jump into the fight. Her slivers of spare time are spent working out, gardening, playing the latest Assassin’s Creed, and rooting on the Seattle Mariners, always with music. She shares a house with her husband (not elven, alas, but a fine alternative) and a devoted cat herd while missing her daughter from afar. C. J. is represented by Brittany Booker of The Booker Albert Literary Agency.
