The Sweetest Kind of Scary

Lucy Bennett is tired of being predictable.

After an ex leaves her feeling like she’s too boring, she decides Halloween is the perfect excuse to do something completely unlike herself.

Enter the Black Veil Masquerade.

One mask.
One reckless kiss.
One mysterious man she fully intends to never see again.

Except the stranger isn’t a stranger at all.

Cole Mercer — quiet, steady, infuriatingly observant Cole — is her best friend’s older brother. And unlike Lucy, he knew exactly who was behind the mask.

Cole has noticed Lucy for far longer than she realizes, but acting on it has always felt off-limits. Now that one impulsive kiss has changed everything, pretending nothing happened becomes harder by the day.

Between small-town gossip, autumn nights, stolen moments, and a connection neither of them can keep hidden forever, Lucy starts to realize that maybe being seen for exactly who she is is a lot scarier than pretending to be someone else.

And maybe that’s exactly what she wants.

A cozy, flirty Halloween romance about taking risks, being truly seen, and falling for the one person who was never supposed to look at you that way.

Perfect for readers who love: best friend’s brother, masked stranger, small-town romance, secret romance, Halloween vibes, slow burn, he’s liked her for years, cozy autumn atmosphere, and a little supernatural flair.
