When Lucy Wheeler returns to her family's gothic hotel on the shores of Lake Michigan, she's hoping for a quiet reset after losing her job in the city. Instead, she's juggling fussy brides, quirky tourists, and her mom's ambitious plan to turn the grounds into a haunted village. The last thing she needs is another distraction... especially not a grumpy contractor who insists on getting under her skin.
Cameron Fox didn't come to Underwood looking for distractions, either. As a single dad, he's focused on finishing this haunted village project and keeping his distance from the stubborn hotel heiress, whose quick wit keeps pulling him in. What starts as bickering and flirtation soon turns into an agreement: they'll just have a casual fling until his contract is up at the end of October. No strings attached.
As the leaves change colors and the days get shorter, Lucy and Cameron can't help wishing October would last forever.
