Each autumn, when no one is looking, the Dead of Night Halloween store materializes with its giant sign and too-good-to-be-true prices. One day it’s there, two days after Halloween it’s gone—no setup, no teardown, just vanishing like smoke.
Pepper White knows the pattern all too well. Five years ago, the last Keeper of the Store tricked her into taking a curse: she appears only when the shop does, and disappears when it leaves. Everyone remembers the store, but no one remembers Pepper.
Until Christina Loring steps inside. Their chemistry is instant, undeniable—and for the first time in years, Pepper dares to hope for something more. But how do you tell someone you’re falling for that you’ll be gone, and forgotten, in ten weeks?
To win a chance at happily ever after, Pepper must break the curse she swore she’d never pass on. Love, after all, might be the most powerful magic of all.
