The Lantern Walk
A Spicy Halloween Small-Town Romantic ComedyBy Darcy Merritt
Length5h 55m
About this audiobook
Ten days before Halloween, Molly Keene has a workshop to save, a festival without a home, and one very inconvenient second chance at love.
Molly came back to Briar Glen to settle her late aunt's affairs and return to her event design career. Instead, the town's Lantern Walk is in danger of closing, and the only safe alternative venue belongs to Grant Turner, the stubborn innkeeper whose family feud ended their teenage almost-romance. He has the orchard. She has the designs. Neither has forgotten their first kiss.
A photograph sparks a fake-couple rumour, but the attraction growing between them is anything but pretend. As they race against inspections, storm damage and unpaid bills, Molly discovers how much the town depends on the people who build its lights. Then a national firm offers her a way back to professional success, provided she hands over work that belongs to Briar Glen.
Molly must protect her independent future and the apprentices' livelihoods. Grant must learn to support her choices without deciding she'll leave before she can speak. Their hearts may be at stake, but so are real wages, a family workshop and a whole town's Halloween tradition.
A steamy, funny small-town romantic comedy about old grudges, hard-earned trust and choosing a future where love makes room for ambition.
Can Molly keep the lanterns burning without letting anyone else choose where she belongs?
