Can a weekend visit to Last Chance Beach undo decades of brokenhearted memories? Conjuring up some island magic might just be their trick. Or treat! Kyle Worthington hasn't returned to Last Chance Beach in years. He's worked hard to prove himself to his overbearing father and the rest of the world. Now it's October, and the vacation island paradise is celebrating the season with an island-wide Fall Festival. Family obligation demands he participate. Everyone will be there, including the ghost that haunts his grandparents' B&B. The running joke that Kyle never sticks with anything—not a career or a woman—will continue to plague him. Unless he brings a knockout of a date to the weekend-long event. Cassandra Corwin fits the bill perfectly. Kyle's had his eye on his brilliant, beautiful coworker since day one. But Cassie is an enigma, a loner. There's no room in her life for anyone except Odin, her goofball of a Great Dane. Will this woman of mystery agree to Kyle's scheme to impress his family? Can two near strangers from opposite worlds survive family gatherings and back-to-back Halloween events while pretending to be a couple? Kyle's father seems hell-bent on derailing everything before they even shout "Boo!" Or will the island's magic prove too powerful for them to resist?
