Falling for the Haunted House Flipper

Goldie Fenwick has told the story of the magician's house four hundred times. Then a light comes on inside, and a grumpy stranger with a crowbar tells her whole tour to get off his lawn.

In this clean small-town Halloween romance, Beck Rourke has bought Thackery House at a sheriff's sale to do what he always does: gut it, paint it gray, and sell it by Thanksgiving. He doesn't believe in ghosts. He never falls in love with a house. And he definitely doesn't need the town's sunny ghost-walk guide watching every wall he touches.

The Historic Commission says he does. So every morning at seven, Goldie shows up with two coffees and a clipboard, and the old house starts giving up its secrets. A staircase that sighs. A door that won't stay shut. A piano that plays one low note at two in the morning. And a room behind the books that nobody has seen in more than a hundred years.

The closer they get to the truth about the magician who vanished, the harder it is for Beck to keep his rule. Then Halloween is days away, the budget is gone, and a slick buyer wants the house for a haunted hotel.

A cozy, funny love story with a grumpy flipper, a sunshine heroine, a black cat named Pocus, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Kisses only, no swearing.
