In this best-friends-to-lovers romance, mistaken identity leads to a Halloween hook-up that might not be so mistaken after all.After losing her husband last winter, the thought of hosting a Halloween couples costume party is the furthest thing from Kelsey O'Henry's mind. Besides raising three young children, managing O'Henry's Bar and Grill, and caring for her alcoholic mother, she has more important things to worry about. Like the stack of unpaid business loans that threaten the bar's existence. As well as her newfound feelings she's developed for her best guy friend.Davis Vance is tired of being followed around by cameras. He misses the days before he and his twin brother became "Renovation Dudes"-hosts of an HGTV show. When Davis learns Kelsey could lose the bar at the end of the fall season, he sees it as an opportunity to not only help his friend, but as a way out of renewing his HGTV contract.There's just one problem-lately Davis's feelings for Kelsey have been less friendly and more romantic. And on the night of the bar's Halloween party, both Kelsey and Davis can no longer ignore their desires. Will their passionate evening be a one-night stand-only a flicker of heat during the crisp autumn, or will she risk her pride and accept his help?
