Just one year ago, Chelsea Knight was living the life she'd always wanted. Marriage to the perfect guy, a thriving career, and a condo overlooking San Francisco Bay. Then out of nowhere, her husband, Austin, left her. Ironic, because Chelsea fixes marriages for a living. In fact, she's famous for her techniques. Naturally, she's been using her expertise to win back her ex-and when he invites her for drinks, she's sure her work has finally paid off. Until he announces he's engaged. Devastated, Chelsea seeks refuge in the lake cabin she and Austin now take turns using. When she arrives, the streets are dazzlingly decked out for Halloween, the autumn leaves are vibrant, and the locals are especially warm and welcoming. It's downright magical-and so is Knox Hart, a talented jack-of-all-trades who's fixing her roof. Chelsea is instantly drawn to him-and to the simplicity of country life. But something about the idyllic hamlet-and Knox-seems too good to be true. A trick more than a treat. And when she ultimately learns the truth, her heart is shattered.
