In this paranormal spicy age-gap romance, a successful author--whose novel is being adapted into a movie--clashes with the actor cast as the male lead, all in a cozy mansion filled with friendly ghosts, from the author of Best Hex Ever. "Addicting and adorable, sweet and sexy, Love at First Fright is a delicious treat "--Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop Rosemary Shaw's ability to see the dead has never scared her. In fact, it's secretly inspired most of her horror novels. Now at twenty-nine, Rosemary is an acclaimed author, and her most successful book is about to be a blockbuster movie. The film set is in a beautiful manor house in the English countryside, and it's no surprise there are ghosts hanging around. But ghosts are something Rosemary can handle; she's not so sure how to deal with her infuriatingly handsome leading man, who is all wrong for the role. Ellis Finch is a longtime Hollywood heartthrob with a secret of his own. He's tired of playing the action movie hero and would much rather be gardening with his sweet dog, Fig. Frankly, he's getting too old to maintain the industry's standards of what a man should look like. Starring in a historical horror movie will be perfect for his new image, until he finds out that the author tried to get him kicked off the project, but Ellis won't go down without a fight. Amidst filming the movie and the chemistry-filled feuding between Rosemary and Ellis, Hallowvale manor comes alive, literally. Trying to balance the mayhem of her writing deadlines, an adorable ghostly dog, and a pair of Regency-era women who are definitely nothing more than friends, Rosemary is at risk of telling Ellis her secret, or worse--falling for him.
