That’s the brand I used to build my following.
As a horror blogger and content creator, I made a name for myself by diving headfirst into haunted houses, cursed films, and urban legends—all without flinching. Fear? I don’t even believe in it.
But that was before his comment.
A single message on my latest "I can scare you. And when I do, you’re mine."
Now the haunted attractions feel a little too real. Shadows move where they shouldn’t. And I can’t shake the feeling that someone’s watching me—even in the dark safety of my own room.
My mysterious new follower doesn’t play by the rules. He doesn’t just want to scare me.
He wants me .
The worst part? My fans love him. They egg him on, not realizing this isn’t some online stunt. This is real. This is terrifying…and tempting.
When the game ends, the only thing left to find out is whether “Scaredy Cat” is just my online handle…
Or my final truth.
SCAREDY CAT is a Halloween MF romance. It is a dark romance, but ends with a HEA and no cliffhanger. It’s part horror-part romance, with topics that some readers may not enjoy. For a full list of triggers, please check the inside of the book.
