She planned every turn of the lantern walk, except falling for the detective she doesn’t trust.
Cass Whitley has a Halloween festival to pull off and no intention of falling for the detective who let her down.
Cass has plans for every turn of Hauntfest’s lantern route. Working beside Detective Jeff Harker wasn’t one of them. Neither was discovering how much she enjoys arguing with him.
Jeff knows an apology won’t erase the moment he failed to believe her. He wants to earn her trust—and spend more time with the woman he hasn’t stopped thinking about. Helping with the festival gives him a chance to do both, if their stubborn streaks don’t get in the way.
Between lantern-lit walks and masquerade preparations, Cass finds herself looking forward to seeing him. But strange happenings at an old boathouse draw them into a family mystery, bringing the question of trust uncomfortably close.
Jeff wants more than her forgiveness. And Cass is beginning to want more than an apology.
