Haunting Hearts

A Clean Short Halloween Auction Romance

One injured ex-military grump + one sassy broken ex track runner = one enemies to lovers special where deep roots are visited and mended!

After a tragic accident derails Sara’s once-promising future, she returns to her small hometown to rebuild her life—only to find her old rival, Jared, has also come back. Both carrying scars of their own, Sara and Jared are thrown together as they work on Project Hope, restoring a historic home into a community haven. But as the walls come down around the house, the barriers between their hearts start to crumble, too.

With a sassy back-and-forth that feels all too familiar, Sara can’t ignore the spark that reignites between them. And Jared, who once saw her as nothing more than his biggest competitor, now realizes she’s always been more.

As they face old memories, new beginnings, and unexpected feelings, can Sara and Jared build something more lasting than their rivalry—like love?

This sweet, small-town romance is filled with heart, healing, and a love story that’s been waiting to be written.
