Could her date be any more entertaining? He is an actor after all. Historian, Joan Wagner, hires Mack Carter from a Rent-ADate app and lands the deal of the century. He’s so handsome it’s all she can do to keep herself and everyone else from staring.
Attending a black-tie Christmas Gala to honor her boss––a History Channel documentarian––is the highlight of her year. Mack fills the role of leading man with ease. But, their accidental kiss on the dance floor makes her wonder if he is interested in her or just acting. His antics keep her laughing, but can he earn her heart?
Mack has a secret. He changes characters and plays the jester to keep it hidden. Joan gains his trust without trying. If he tells her the truth, will he get a second date? Can two lonely hearts land romance in time for Christmas?

But that isn't all! Here's an exclusive sneak peek from C. L. Hart's spine-tingling tale, A Murky Reckoning!
A Horror From the Deep
In his wildest nightmares, the fisherman could never have imagined the horror he dragged aboard his boat from the Gloomwater Sea. He'd heard tales of this monstrosity but had never imagined seeing one. The Abyssal Leviathan spanned nearly ten feet, its oily, swollen body undulating from side to side on the deck of the Nautical Requiem. Its skin was a mottled blend of moldy blues and sickly greens covered in parasitic barnacles.
The creature had a broad, flattened head, a mouth filled with rows of jagged, razor-sharp teeth, and bulbous eyes that reflected a bioluminescent glow, mesmerizing and horrifying. A milky white eye remained stationary, while a brilliant crimson eye darted about, observing its surroundings with suspicion and rage.
Tentacles lined with venomous barbs oozing a noxious glowing chartreuse secretion sprouted from the beast's head. These appendages writhed like snakes preparing to strike. Its serpentine body tapered into a long, whip-like tail covered in spiny protrusions. Sharp ridges ran down its spine along its dorsal edge, pulsing with an eerie blue glow. The creature emitted a miasmal stench of decay and brine. The fisherman covered the beast with a tarpaulin and lashed it to the mast.
With Halloween coming up, it's a great time to select some spooky bedtime stories!
