Mister October... Just in Time for Halloween!

I can't believe it's been months since I've written in this space, and I missed you all! I spent the time away writing for many deadlines and traveling to visit family. And while I had a wonderful time, I'm so happy to be here again.

Anyway, today is a huge day because one of my favorite stories that I’ve written this year is out now! One October Night, one of the first stories in my Kingsmill Courtships series, is now available for a limited time in the Mister October anthology.

BAD DECISIONS. BROKEN HEARTS. SECOND CHANCES

What do these all have in common? Mister October! 

Think naughty costumes, deliciously devious “snacks,” and spooky twists. And, of course, sexy heroes and HEAs! Follow our dauntless heroines through bad decisions, broken hearts and second chances. You’ll love the mix of suspense, comedy, sweet/steamy romance, and holiday drama without a drop of magic.

Are ready for a book that will keep you up all night? And when that doorbell rings, will you answer for Mister October?

My story on the anthology, One October Night, is a sweet, second-chance romance that takes place in Kingsmill, VA, a small town deep in the Shenandoah Mountains.

CAN HE BETRAY THE WOMAN HE LOVES… TO SECURE THEIR HAPPILY EVER AFTER?

Jacob Mosby is no hero. He’s a hardworking, hard-playing man determined to make his small-town construction business a success. He’s also been bewitched by a one-night stand he had a year ago with Clara Wakefield. Although she left his bed without saying goodbye, and has barely spoken to him since, he’s decided to make her his wife before she runs away again. He just has no idea how until he learns Clara is running the Halloween Haunted House Charity Event…in his family’s abandoned mansion.

Clara Wakefield, a widow, mother, and successful event planner is filled with regrets. She married the wrong man and, after his death, slept with the right man. The right man who has other women on the side. Terrified of suffering another broken heart, and desperate to protect her teenage daughter from making the same mistakes, Clara takes one last job in her tiny town of Kingsmill, VA before moving to a large city. If her Halloween Haunted House succeeds, she’ll secure her future.

Yet when the teenage vampires are caught vaping in the woods, the high school witches curse the skeletons in the basement, and someone sabotages the Haunted House, Clara must rely on Jacob to help make her event a success. Even if it means losing her heart to the man she’s always loved… again.

Sharon's Deadly Force romantic suspense series is set in a world with scary assassins who bow before killing, sexy Green Berets seeking redemption, and smart, sassy heroines who save them all. It’s also a world where, since Sharon is slow and clumsy, her chances of making it out alive would be slim. 

She also writes small-town contemporary romances, gothic romantic mysteries set in the sultry south, and Christmas stories. Because nothing brings out the romantic feels more than stories set during the holidays.

She’s repped by Deidre Knight and Kristy Hunter of The Knight Agency.
