Lord of Allhallowtide Falls in Love

He can summon the lonely. He’ll have to ask her on a date.

Every Halloween, Lord Allhallowtide rises from his grave, straightens his crown, and invites the lonely into his kingdom. After nine hundred years, he considers himself quite good at it.

Then Constantine Melendez takes one look at his skeletal face and calls his cape dramatic.

Eleven months after losing her husband, Constantine wants one more goodbye. If following a suspiciously charming lord into a kingdom of lantern trees and wandering souls will give her that chance, she’s willing to hear him out. But she has questions—especially about his habit of enchanting people before mentioning they can never leave.

For the first time in centuries, Lord Allhallowtide has more to worry about than lost souls, royal paperwork, and his sarcastic steward. Constantine sees him exactly as he is, argues with him without hesitation, and makes him wish his annual visit lasted longer than three nights.

Helping her find her husband might win her trust. Bringing her home could mean losing the only woman who has ever made his kingdom feel lonely.

A tender, gently funny Halloween romance about loving after loss—and a lord of the dead learning how much life still matters.
