The Candlemaker

Francesca ‘Frankie’ Kinkade has a penchant for trouble.

By day, she runs her candle shop. By night, she plays matchmaker for everyone but herself. When a grumpy out-of-towner shows up to sell the inn her sister’s dreamed of buying, Frankie’s ready to scare off the competition—literally.

Chandler Collins doesn’t do feelings. Or small towns. Inheriting the inn was never part of his plan, and selling it should’ve been simple. But one by one, buyers keep backing out…until he realizes someone’s behind it.

Frankie wouldn’t say her plan was a great one, but who wants to buy an inn that’s haunted? No one. When her master class in ghosting leaves her sister as the only buyer left, Frankie is sure the city slicker will take the offer and head back to his skyscrapers. But when Chandler calls her bluff and decides to stay at the inn himself, she matches him step for step.

One week. One inn. One dare neither of them meant to lose.

But under flickering candlelight, sparks fly, and Frankie’s about to learn what happens when you mix business, pleasure… and one very unexpected surprise.
