The week before her wedding, Poppy Callahan bolted-in her dress, bouquet still in hand-straight back to her grandparents'' haunted inn in Halloween Town. Only one snag: the inn has already been sold... to Thom Hart, her ex-fiance''s brooding, scandal-shadowed older brother. With the town overrun by its month-long Halloween festival (complete with pumpkin contests, ghost tours, and a zombie marching band), Poppy has nowhere to go and no choice but to share space with Thom. But as they renovate the inn-and dodge mischievous ghosts who specialize in sabotaging almost-kisses-sparks ignite. Between the Halloween festival, meddling ghosts and some soul seeking, Poppy and Thom discover that love might just be the scariest (and most extraordinary) thing of all...

Klappentext

It's always spooky season here...Poppy McMaster was supposed to be getting married, not climbing out of a bathroom window in her wedding dress...

She's leaving her life behind and fleeing to the only place she's ever truly felt like herself: the small town she grew up in, where Halloween lasts all year.

But home isn't waiting for Poppy the way she imagined. Her grandparents' beloved inn is now owned by Thom Sheffield, who just happens to be:

• Her childhood hero
• Her ex-fiancé's brooding older brother
• The last man on earth she should be fantasizing about... Because in a town full of pumpkins, cosy traditions, and Halloween magic, falling in love might be the scariest thing of all...
