Enchanting Eve: Halloween Romance (Sweet Holiday Romance Book 1)
by Darci Balogh
Two men. One possibly haunted house. A Halloween she’ll never forget.
A feel-good small town Halloween romance that delivers a sweet romantic story with a touch of magic. Oh, yes, and a pair of black cats with attitude…purrfect reading for a fall afternoon.
Eve’s simple life in her home town has felt empty since her father passed away.
Living in the beautiful old house where she grew up is some comfort to her, but being naturally introverted and loving cats isn’t exactly pushing her into a healthy social life. She misses the joy she used to feel and she’s not sure if she will ever find happiness again.
When Eve decides to take part in a few of her most cherished Halloween traditions that she used to share with her father, life gets a little–shall we say–sticky?
First she finds out her high school crush is returning home. Then she meets the young handsome teacher who is taking over her father’s job. And finally she discovers that she may be living in a haunted house.
Is her strong attraction to the ‘one that got away’ the start of something beautiful or will the old fashioned charm of the new guy in town win her over?
Are the strange coincidences in her house leading up to Halloween just her imagination or is someone trying to tell her something?
Something that could change her life forever…

by Elsie Davis
Family honor is at stake as they solve a 200-year-old mystery. The truth could cost them everything that’s important.
For generations, Sarah’s family handed down the stories about Captain Tremont, who went to his watery grave and was accused of bootlegging. But a message discovered in her grandmother’s trunk leads Sarah to believe there is another explanation for the captain’s fate. One that as a mystery writer, she can’t ignore and is determined to prove. The message takes her to the Crestfield Inn, where her infamous, six-times removed grandfather once stayed.
While delivering a load of antiques to the inn, a gorgeous woman knocks Blake off his balance—literally and figuratively. Tensions are high, and not only because of the broken lamp. Apologies are in order and when the two meet again at the library, he suggests they team up in their research efforts. Strictly business of course.
But as Sarah and Blake wind their way through history, they face unexpected challenges, including some strange things that happen at the inn when the resident spirit gets involved. And when they each find the answers they’re looking for, will the truth bring them happiness or drive them apart forever?
Turning Back Time is the captivating first book in the Crestfield Inn clean romance series. If you like special kinds of soulmates, a splash of the supernatural, and wholesome relationships, then you’ll adore Elsie Davis’s sweet bit of fun filled with romance and mystery.
