Sand, Salt, and Spirits
by Kathryn Hills

GENRE: Romance / Halloween / Contemporary

BLURB:
Can a weekend visit to Last Chance Beach undo
decades of brokenhearted memories? Conjuring up some island magic might just be
their trick. Or treat!
Kyle Worthington hasn’t returned to Last Chance
Beach in years. He’s worked hard to prove himself to his overbearing father and
the rest of the world. Now it’s October, and the vacation island paradise is
celebrating the season with an island-wide Fall Festival. Family obligation
demands he participate. Everyone will be there, including the ghost that haunts
his grandparents’ B&B.
The running joke that Kyle never sticks with
anything—not a career or a woman—will continue to plague him. Unless he brings
a knockout of a date to the weekend-long event. Cassandra Corwin fits the bill
perfectly. Kyle’s had his eye on his brilliant, beautiful coworker since day
one. But Cassie is an enigma, a loner. There’s no room in her life for anyone except
Odin, her goofball of a Great Dane.
Will this woman of mystery agree to Kyle’s scheme
to impress his family? Can two near strangers from opposite worlds survive
family gatherings and back-to-back Halloween events while pretending to be a
couple? Kyle’s father seems hell-bent on derailing everything before they even
shout “Boo!”
Or will the island’s magic prove too powerful for
them to resist?

EXCERPT
Kyle’s brain screamed, okay…time to fess up. “Cassie…before
we go any further, there’s something I must confess. Please don’t get mad.”
Her smile evaporated. “Oh, that’s never good.”
“Hang on…it’s not good, but it’s not terrible, either.”
“Yet to be determined.” She crossed her arms and leveled a
hard stare on him. “Spill it.”
“I may have…Okay, I definitely said…you’re my girlfriend.”
Kyle cringed in anticipation of her reaction.
“You said what?” Her voice spiked.
“I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me.”
“A death wish?” she accused with a scowl. “Who did you say
this to?”
“Not many. Just my sister, Kat.” He swallowed hard and took
a step back. “She told my grandmother.”
“No?” Her tone went dangerously low.
“…who then told my mother when she called to say she wasn’t
sure if she was coming. Who, in turn, told Kendall, my younger sister. Who
really isn’t coming, by the way. So, that part’s good.”
“Is it now, Kyle? Really?” Cassie demanded with an
infuriated huff.
“Yeah…except Kat told her boyfriend, Ben. Now I’m done. I
think. Maybe not. News travels fast on Last Chance Beach.”

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
The rich
history and many mysteries of New England are the perfect backdrop for many of
KATHRYN’s books. Winding roads lined by old stone walls, forgotten cemeteries,
grand homes with shadowy pasts...all sparks for her imagination. Whether it’s a
quaint seaside town or the vibrant city of Boston, it’s easy for this
“hauntingly romantic” author to envision the past mingling with the present. No
surprise, some of Kathryn’s favorite stories include ghosts! Sprinkle in some
magic, and you’re off on a great adventure.
When not writing, this best-selling author is
reading, researching, gardening, or cooking up something special in her chaotic
kitchen. She shares her colonial home in the north woods with those she loves
most – her wonderful husband, daughter, and three crazy dogs.
