HARPER
I let my big sister talk me into moving to Hazy Cove with the promise of small-town charm and a new routine. The dance studio was looking for a ballet teacher, and I found the cutest house available for immediate move in. It was like it was meant to be. Then I met my new next-door neighbor, and everything I thought I wanted quickly started to change. I told him I wasn’t the dating type and could never replace what he had lost. But he was charming, and if I wasn’t careful, he would prove me wrong.

I would do anything for my daughter. Ever since my wife died, she was all I had, and I was perfectly happy with it being just the two of us. Then Harper moved in, and suddenly I was spending way too much time thinking about my accident-prone neighbor. She made me feel something I hadn’t felt in years—something I never thought I’d feel again. But when she got spooked, things got complicated, and I had to make a decision. It wasn’t just about me.
She was never just the girl next door.

Trick or treat! We’re back in Hazy Cove, where the Jack-o-lanterns are glowing and the moon is full. With the shadows getting spookier every day, does romance stand a chance, or are these couples going to forever be haunted by what could’ve been?
