Deception...and desire With the murder of a reclusive tycoon, Midnight, Maine's Halloween curse was once again resurrected. A fact that spooked Des Jones, for the curse promised death to the legendary Masque Factory's new heir—the person he was impersonating. Under a cloak of disguise, Des arrived in Midnight only to find that his life-threatening challenge was made deliciously sweeter when the beautiful Rowen Hunter became his fiancée in deception. Rowen was promised to another—the man paying Des for a job well done—but he wanted her...no matter what the cost. But to have her, Des had to unmask a killer determined to make theirs a deadly affair.
