Valentine Cross

Welcome to Cross Manor, where Halloween is never an ordinary occasion. At midnight, the doors open onto a masquerade of candlelit chandeliers, champagne, music and guests whose costumes may conceal more than they reveal. Valentine Cross, the house's silver-haired master, has perfected the art of making an evening unforgettable. His wit is quick, his welcome generous, and his attention can become intensely personal when someone catches his eye. The ballroom is only the beginning. There are elegant rivals at the card tables, fascinating strangers behind masks, old friends with sharp tongues and quieter rooms where conversations can turn unexpectedly intimate. Beyond the celebrations, Cross Manor keeps its own customs and secrets. Its host knows considerably more about them than he initially shares. Dance with Valentine, challenge him, enjoy the party or follow your curiosity. Your choices determine what becomes of the night—and of the relationships you form inside these extraordinary walls.
