Ghosts in the Moonlight

---

“The most fantastic works come from the rawest places. These words come not just from endurance, but from a hopeful sense of thriving through it.” Tyler Knott Gregson

An incandescent poetry collection that unflinchingly explores life, love, and loss through an intimate collage of powerful prose.

Hayden’s candid and compassionate words shed light on the dark corners of the soul, acknowledging and soothing the rawest of emotions while coaxing one’s personal demons into gentle submission. The contents of this book remind us that there is beauty and healing in pain, strength and power in surrender, and that no darkness is eternal. What might these words illuminate for you?

This inventive debut volume features poetry in many styles and structures and brings to light some things that we wish to hide, and many things we fear to celebrate.

Do you dare peek inside? Are you brave enough to walk with ghosts in the moonlight?

Ashlyn Sinclair is a planner. After years of meticulous planning and preparation, she opened her fantasy boutique—HUSH. But no one plans for their dream to die. On the verge of losing everything she’s worked so hard for, and desperate to keep her shop alive, she hires a consultant specializing in the resuscitation of failing local businesses—giving him complete and utter control. Over everything. Cue panic attack!

 Samuel Mathiues is a fixer, he’s who you call when best laid plans run off the rails. As hardworking and dedicated as he is handsome and charming, Sam overwhelms Ashlyn just as much as the changes being made to her store. He nurtures her quirks, while opening her up to possibilities and ambitions she never dared to hope for. 

But Sam challenges Ash in ways that terrify her, forcing her to re-evaluate who she really is, what she really wants, and questioning how hard she’s willing to work for it all. As their attraction deepens, and work on her shop draws to a close, Ashlyn starts to fear Sam’s inevitable exit.  Can she keep HUSH alive this time? Will old habits—both personal and professional—creep back up on her? And the most terrifying of all: which does she want more—her shop to thrive, or Sam?
