"So that's what happens when you make love in a room full of magic roses..." When wedding planner Anna Martinez is hired to save a failing Halloween charity gala, she never expects to meet the reclusive billionaire owner of Shadowmere Estate-or discover his family's magical secret. Simon Cross hasn't celebrated Halloween since his wife's death three years ago. But with a two-million-dollar fundraiser on the line and his teenage daughter Emma caught in the middle, he has no choice but to trust the vibrant young woman who specializes in "Gothic Romance" events. Anna has three weeks to transform Shadowmere into a Halloween wonderland, coordinate fifty charity weddings, and somehow revive the estate's legendary Forever Roses-the magical blooms that supposedly respond to true love but have been dead since Rebecca Cross's funeral. As October nights grow longer and the fake dating charade for the press becomes all too real, Anna discovers that some roses never truly die. And when ancient magic starts responding to her touch, both she and Simon must decide if they're brave enough to let love bloom again. But family secrets, rival wedding planners, and Emma's discovery of their deception threaten to destroy everything they're building. Can their love survive the truth? Or will it wither like roses in winter frost? A steamy Halloween romance about second chances, magical gardens, and love that blooms eternal.
