Sadie's Halloween Disaster

Holiday Haven #5

by Olivia Rian

It's Sadie’s favorite time of year, but between finding homes for the dogs and cats at the shelter and juggling veterinary school, she barely has a moment to enjoy it. Then she runs into Matthew, the charming guy from high school who suddenly seems interested in her. But he’s way too preppy for her rocker style—and to make things worse, he used to be friends with her ex, and she’s sworn never to trust guys like him again.

As they spend more time together—navigating spooky corn mazes, working side by side at the shelter, and indulging in delicious pumpkin-flavored treats—Sadie finds herself falling for him despite her better judgment. But when she finally pushes him away, she regrets it almost immediately.

Meanwhile, the adorable puppy she’s been hoping to adopt, Daisy, is nearly taken in by someone else, and then falls seriously ill. Now, Sadie must figure out whether she’s willing to open her heart again—both to Matthew and to Daisy—before it’s too late to enjoy the magic of the season.

Will Sadie be able to protect her heart, adopt the puppy she loves, and still savor all the pumpkins, parties, and cozy moments of the spookiest time of the year?
