When attraction leads to her heart’s desire, she knows she’s in trouble.
Music instructor Ruby Haynes is ready for the night to be over. Her Halloween plans are ruined, so she’s handing out candy to kids at her family’s music school, a converted Victorian with a mysterious history. Then Brad Emerson and his feisty grandmother show up with a wild story on their lips—there’s a secret room in the attic, which presumably holds Gran’s long-lost childhood doll.
Is Ruby destined for one steamy night with Brad, or something more?

Author’s Note
A few years back, I contracted two novellas, Lyrical Embrace and Harmony’s Embrace, with my former publisher and focused on Ruby’s brothers for those stories. I always felt a little bad that I never showed Ruby and Brad’s romance on page, so when I got the rights back to Dylan’s and Birley’s books to self-publish them, I was beyond excited and so ready to write this short story.
I mean, it’s about time Ruby Haynes gets her own book!
But when to set it? That was the big question. Since each of the other books in the new Embracing You series takes place on or near a holiday, I kept going back and forth between having this one on Halloween or Valentine’s Day. Getting trapped in an attic wouldn’t have been nearly as spooky or filled with ambiance on Love Day, so All Hallow’s Eve won out.
