The Haunting of Hearts

Sienna Hayes lives for pumpkin spice, velvet ribbons, and making every celebration picture perfect. As the owner of Spark Events in the coastal town of Blackwood Harbor, she needs one massive win to save her struggling business from ruin. The opportunity of a lifetime arrives when the town council hires her to execute the annual Halloween Masquerade Gala at Hollowbrook Manor, an eerie, cliffside Victorian estate. The only problem is the manor’s dark, reclusive owner, Silas Vance, who despises tourists, hates Halloween, and wants nothing to do with her sparkly decorations.

Silas Vance, a bestselling horror novelist recovering from a devastating personal betrayal, sealed himself away behind Hollowbrook Manor’s iron gates to be left alone. When a historic deed clause forces him to host the town gala, he resolves to make Sienna quit within forty-eight hours. Yet, as mysterious occurrences plague the mansion and stormy coastal nights force them into close quarters, Silas finds his formidable defenses crumbling against Sienna’s irrepressible warmth, while Sienna uncovers the deep grief behind his stern mask.

With eerie legends coming to life, sabotage threatening the event, and undeniable passion sparking in candlelight, Sienna and Silas must confront their past ghosts. As midnight on Halloween approaches, they must decide if they can release their old heartbreaks or if the dark rumors of Hollowbrook Manor will tear them apart forever.
