Haunted Redemption
by Melani Blazer

He isn't the Scott she once knew. Lili never expected to see him again, but when she does, the sparks between them make Halloween a night to remember. It had been at a haunted house ten years earlier that Scott had disappeared. Lili has no intention of letting history repeat itself.

Scott returns, desperate to see the woman he'd left behind, knowing he'll have one night—one night to savor for an eternity. He hasn't counted on the power of their attraction—and the devastating effects his secret will have on the woman he loves.

Originally available in the Things That Go Bump in the Night V anthology.

Melani Blazer's Bio

Melani Blazer's mom swears she was born reading, and by age six, was writing little rhymes. It was something she did for fun—even through high school where she was a writer and the copy editor for the school newspaper. But then practical thinking took over and her college focus aimed at science.

Now, too-many-years-to-admit later, she's rediscovered her childhood escape and taken it a step further. She's written stories in a diverse number of genres, but found her true love in paranormals.

To keep her feet grounded in real life, she keeps house with her wonderful husband of 14 years, an almost-teenage daughter, and her cats.
