the story ofScare Me Softly

Poppy has until November 1 to save her family’s farm.

If the haunted attraction fails, the bank wins and a buyer takes everything. Her last shot is turning their fall farm into a real haunt, and only one person can build the scares she needs.

Reed. Her brother’s best friend. The quiet carpenter who’s been off-limits for years.

Reed says yes because he can’t watch her lose the land. What he doesn’t say is that he’s been in love with her for half his life. Late nights in the corn, soft scares after close, and one very dangerous chase make it impossible to keep pretending this is just a job.

With her brother watching, a buyer circling, and the deadline closing in, Poppy and Reed have to choose between staying safe and finally choosing each other.

Some scares are worth staying for.

on my screen

TV shows

Reality TV is my love language. Love Island, Below Deck, and anything with a Real Housewife in it are always on in the background. When I want comfort, it’s Gilmore Girls, The Vampire Diaries, Teen Wolf, or Gossip Girl, and if it’s a mid-2000s teen show, I probably love it.

Favourite authors

Meghan Quinn, Tessa Bailey, Karina Halle, and Raven Kennedy are my auto-buys. Give me banter, heat, a little angst, and a hero who is completely gone for her, and I’m in. If one of them drops a new book, everything else on my TBR waits.

in my hands

Hobbies

I’m a cozy girl at heart. Beyond trying to tackle my TBR and between writing, you’ll likely find me puzzling, crocheting, or at a pottery studio.
