Hex, the black cat, was one mission: trap his humans in a Halloween spell they can't escape...

Lexi Hayes has always believed Halloween carries a little magic — but she never expected it to come in the form of a brooding, unfairly gorgeous veterinarian. When her black cat, Hex, keeps slipping out and showing up at Dr. Luther Bishop's clinic, Lexi is dragged into the orbit of the one man who makes her heart race and her imagination run wild.

Luther didn't move to town looking for complications. He prefers animals to people, shadows to small talk, and quiet to chaos. But Lexi is none of those things — she's warmth and color and fire, and she unsettles him in ways he can't explain. And Hex? The cat seems determined to push them together… or trap them in the same room until sparks fly.

When a Halloween storm knocks out the power in Luther's old Victorian home, Lexi finds herself stranded with the man she's been trying not to want. Candlelight turns the night intimate, thunder shakes loose their defenses, and the chemistry between them finally ignites into something hot enough to burn through every fear they've been holding onto.

But when morning comes, they'll have to decide if their connection was just a moment of Halloween magic — or the beginning of something real.

One night. One storm. One black cat with a mission.

Love doesn't always wait for permission… sometimes it pounces.
