Bronx-born folklore student Ashley returns home in October for her cousin's wedding and walks straight into a nightmare. The Headless Horseman she's been dreaming about since childhood isn't just real, he's waiting for her... and this one rides with flair. As bodies start dropping, Ashley must uncover the curse before it consumes her whole neighborhood. But this isn't sleepy suburbia. This is New York, and the Horseman's about to learn the city doesn't go down without a fight.

She moaned low and breathy, like something just beneath a prayer. The sound didn't seem coy. It felt possessed. Jacob stumbled back behind a tree, his pulse hammering in his throat. His lips ajar. He didn't even remember breathing. The crucifix beneath his shirt felt like ice against his chest. He gripped it anyway. The metal biting into his palm. He told himself he hadn't seen what he saw. ************* In Little Harmonie, purity is worshiped, sin is hunted, and witches burn. Father Jacob should condemn Delilah. Instead, he craves her. Her beauty tempts him, her power unsettles him, and her darkness feels too much like his own. But the deeper he falls, the uglier the truth bleeds out: the town is rotten, the sermons are lies, and the real monsters don't just lurk in the woods... they wear holy robes. In a place that calls itself pure, obsession is holy, and love is the most dangerous curse of all.

Moving into my new flat was supposed to be a fresh start-cozy, quiet, perfectly ordinary. What I didn't expect... was him. My neighbor, Kieran Gray. Hot as hell. Instant crush unlocked. I kept running into him all the time. And then he holds the elevator for me, carries my groceries without asking, and suddenly I catch glimpses of something softer. Something that makes my heart race way too fast. I told myself it was just a crush. Harmless. Temporary. But a few weeks later, I was bold enough to ask him out. And to my surprise, he said yes... with one condition. We have to keep it a secret. I don't know what he's hiding, or why being seen with me matters so much. All I know is that I've fallen for the man next door... and I didn't realize at that time, that love was the real danger.
