The Headless Horseman Needs a Date

Aurora Arendale has exactly one job: keep Briar Glen's beloved Halloween festival from falling apart.

Then the town's Headless Horseman breaks his ankle.

Well. The actor playing him does.

Desperate to save Briar Glen's biggest Halloween tradition, Aurora convinces James Ashford-the enormous, painfully quiet blacksmith who lives outside town-to take his place. He can ride. He already owns a terrifying black horse. And somehow, beneath a cape and an antique military coat, James makes the legend look more real than it ever has before.

Maybe a little too real.

Because after the performance, Aurora catches him removing the costume.

There's no fake head underneath.

There's no head at all.

James Ashford is the actual Headless Horseman.

He was murdered near Briar Glen's covered bridge in 1814, mysteriously returned without his head, and has spent the last two centuries quietly living in the same town that turned his death into its favorite Halloween attraction.

And apparently, the terrifying immortal legend has an even bigger secret.

He's had a crush on Aurora for years.

Now Aurora has to somehow manage a Halloween festival, date a two-hundred-year-old headless blacksmith, keep his identity secret, and figure out why something else has started riding through the woods at night.

Because Briar Glen may have spent generations telling the wrong story about its Headless Horseman.

And this Halloween, the story has started telling itself.

The Headless Horseman Needs a Date is a spooky, funny, ridiculously sweet paranormal romantic comedy featuring an immortal cinnamon-roll hero, a chaotic Halloween festival, a small town overflowing with secrets, a supernatural black horse with an apple problem, and one very important question:

"You don't have a head."

He shrugged.

"DON'T FUCKING SHRUG."
