Fangs and Firelight: A Cozy Gothic Romance

In the autumn-drenched town of Ashthorne, Halloween isn't just a day, it's a season. Every October, the town square glows with pumpkin lanterns, cider bonfires, and stories whispered beneath amber lights. Most are harmless myths. But Claudia Moreau has spent centuries making sure no one discovers which ones are true. Podcaster Dov Rosenfeld is here to expose the town's latest myth: the "vampire lady on the hill." Cynical, brilliant, and allergic to nonsense, Dov is certain his Halloween special will be another episode debunking small-town hysteria.
Between playful interviews and dangerous truths, Dov finds himself caught between disbelief and desire. And when the town's cozy legends take a darker turn, Claudia must decide whether to keep her secret-or trust a man who's made a career out of destroying myths. As bonfires burn and secrets rise, one thing becomes certain: love is the most terrifying legend of all.
