The Trouble with Halloween — Kristi Ahlers

Everly Treymore has been haunted by a dream that started when she was thirteen and returns every year, thirteen days before Halloween. This year she is ready to put the past behind her and find a happy ending. First however she needs to confront what the dream really means. This means a trip to Salem, Massachusetts. When she meets Salem local Alexander Danforth she realizes that he's part of her story -- and maybe you really never do put your past behind you. At least not when it's true love.

Alexander Danforth has been carrying the weight of guilt on his shoulders for since he was thirteen. He's tried to do everything he can to ease that burden by joining the military. When his beloved grandmother has a stroke, he comes back to Salem to help her run her lotions and potions and tarot shop. She's thrilled he's back because time is drawing near where he's going to have to finally face his past to make peace. When he sees Everly for the first time, it's like a sucker punch to the gut. He'll do whatever he has to in order to protect the one woman he's been waiting all his life for.
