--------------------------
Rosemary is a successful horror author with a secret: she can see ghosts. So when the set of her hit novel's film adaptation turns out to be a haunted countryside manor, she's unfazed. What she's less prepared for is the maddeningly handsome, completely miscast actor playing her leading man.
Ellis is a Hollywood heartthrob tired of his action-hero persona. Instead, he dreams of being a serious actor, and having free time to spend gardening with his dog. Landing the lead in a historical horror movie is his chance to start fresh... until he discovers the author tried to have him replaced.
But as filming progresses, and the manor's ghosts make their presence known, the chemistry between Rosemary and Ellis becomes undeniable. With secrets being spilled, sparks flying, and spirits stirring up trouble, can they face their demons and write themselves a happily-ever-after before it's a wrap?

Reviews
Best Hex Ever is a hard act to follow, but Love at First Fright does it so well! Wonderfully warm, deliciously sexy and beautifully inclusive, I loved this every bit as much as the first. * Sangu Mandanna, bestselling author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches *
Love At First Fright is the perfect mix of sweet, sexy, soft, and spooky - horny in all the best ways without losing its tenderness, honesty, or sensitivity to the messy realities of grief, shame, anxiety, and show business. Rosemary is a dream of a protagonist, Ellis' determination to make her happy is a delight, and the full cast (and crew) of minor and supporting characters add a richness to an already brilliant story. A must-read for anyone who delights in the potential of queer allegories in horror, believes every old building deserves at least one dramatic ghost situation, and isn't afraid to acknowledge that there's strength - and power - in submission. * Shelly Jay Shore, USA Today bestselling author of Rules for Ghosting *
