Cindi Wilton is a smart, savvy young woman with a fabulous career, and an even more fabulous boyfriend. That just may be part of the problem. Rick Cudahee is an intelligence operative who's been all over the world, done and seen things Cindi can only dream about, and she's got it into her head that she has to prove something to Rick, and herself.

When a mysterious phone call lures her to a crumbling old hotel on All Hallow's Eve, she's in for more spooky surprises than she ever bargained for?

Read what the reviewers are saying...

"4 Stars!...I truly enjoyed this quick and fun tale set in a haunted hotel. I loved the tone, which includes a mix of supernatural-induced fear and loving intrigue in Rick and Cindi?s delicious romance. Rick is a blend of scary criminal personality and loving, erotic prowess. He sent my senses running with his imaginative role-play and intensely creative scenery. There was just enough sex thrown into the mix, interlaced with a touch of bondage and stimulating congress. I liked these love scenes so much that I wanted to see more between this inventive couple, but based on the length of the story, there was just enough sex to make it feel realistic and still loving. Cindi is a perfect blend of angry girlfriend and horny lover. I loved her attitude and take-charge persona. These two together have a natural, believable relationship that I easily fell in love with. I deeply enjoyed every minute of this quick story and even felt the adrenaline rush of excitement at the end. This one is definitely a keeper!"—Francesca Hayne, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

"4 Angels!...A short story that gives readers a glimpse into the suspenseful world of jumping into something before thinking it though. The mixture of emotions that Cinthya endures throughout her stay at the Mayfair is both humorous and sizzling. The tender moments Cinthya and Rick share due to the trip to the Mayfair are touching and rewarding. I enjoyed watching the story play out between Rick and Cinthya...A sweet and erotic little romance that gives readers a full array of emotions."—Jessica, Fallen Angel Reviews

Read a short excerpt...

Eden dropped the overnight case and settled to the task of making a fire. A short while later, she was seated in front of the flames. Her gaze wandered over the room, darting into shadows and concentrating until she'd pierced the gloom and was able to discern shapes and identify them. Still, the sense of waiting nagged at the back of her consciousness and left her shivering. The foreboding was growing, and she admitted to herself that she might have been foolhardy in coming to this place alone, at night.

The sketchbook drew her eye, and she decided the best form of distraction would be work. She opened the book and stared at the face that smiled back at her from the top page. She'd never seen him before, yet she had filled several books with this man's image. She had, in fact, created an entire history for him. All that remained was a name, and that little detail always stayed just out of reach. Nothing she would settle on felt "right," so he continued to be a stranger-a stranger to whom she felt closer than she did most of the people who did populate her life.

"Who are you?" she murmured as her fingers brushed across the textured page and absently caressed the curving mouth.

"Who do you wish me to be?"

Eden very nearly dropped the book she held. The voice was low and compelling, rich with resonant power. She felt it touch her heart and demand a surrender she instinctively knew had been made long ago. Strangely reluctant, she allowed her gaze to shift from the face on the page and look upward. Her grip lost its strength and the sketchbook slipped to the floor as she stared at him?
