The scent of saltwater and rum lingered in the air as Mary realized her quiet beach walk had somehow crossed paths with the 18th century. Mary Snow never expected her quiet morning walk to lead to an adventure straight out of legend. But when she stumbles over a rugged Scottish pirate washed up on the beach, claiming to have traveled through time, she starts to question everything she thought she knew about reality-and the magic of Halloween. Aiden Cameron, with his irresistible accent and wild tales of knowing Blackbeard himself, is the last thing Mary needs as she juggles the chaos of the Halloween jamboree and tries to keep her parents-avid lovers of all things historical-away from the charming time-traveler. But the more time she spends with Aiden, the more she finds herself caught between disbelief and a growing connection she can't ignore. As Halloween night approaches, Mary faces a dilemma: send Aiden back to his own time, or risk everything for a love that transcends centuries. Can she resist the pull of the past, or will this be the Halloween where she finally starts to believe in magic again?
