BLURB:
Andrew Pritchard has two problems.
He’s been obsessed with Vivian Jackson since high school.
And he reads far too much dark romance.
As the tattooed, Welsh frontman of underground rock band Dark Distortion, Andrew knows how to command a stage—but getting the woman he’s secretly yearning for is a different story. So he does what any rational thirty-three-year-old man would do.
Create a bucket list. Based on the things he loves in dark romance novels.
And this Halloween, he stops fantasizing.
Step one: Kidnap the woman he’s been yearning for.
Step two: Tie her up in a secluded cabin.
Step three: Make his morally gray dreams come true—for one night only (and hopefully she’ll fall in love with him).
Vivian quickly realizes that her kidnapper is the rockstar she has been crushing on. But it seems he has absolutely learned this from fiction and he’s completely winging it.
She’d be offended—if it weren’t so hot how clumsy he’s being about it.
But Halloween spirals fast. Because while Andrew is busy playing morally gray hero, two real serial killers are hunting in the same woods.
What starts as a fantasy becomes a fight for survival—all within one chaotic, tension-filled night.
And by sunrise?
They’ll have to decide what’s scarier—the killers in the woods or finally admitting they’ve wanted each other all along.
