A Hexcellent Chance to Fall in Love

Every year a Halloween shop called The Dead of Night turns up in a new location with a giant sign and low prices. Nobody sees it go up or come down. Two days after Halloween it vanishes again.

Pepper White is bound to the store. Five years ago the previous Keeper of the Store tricked her into a curse: she appears when the shop does and disappears when it goes. Customers remember the shop, but they forget her entirely.

Then Christina Loring walks through the door. The attraction between them is immediate, and for the first time in five years Pepper wants more time than the season allows. She has ten weeks with Christina before Christina forgets everything, and no easy way to explain why.

The only way out is the one Pepper swore she would never take: finding the right treat to trick someone else into accepting the curse. Pepper and Christina decide to scheme their way toward a happy ending.

This is a paranormal romance between two women, with a slightly spooky, seasonal tone and a ticking clock built into the premise.
