In Vieux Lyon, an inheritance leaves you with Madeleine Vautrin's apartment, an old silver case and one warning: Whatever you do, don't give it to the Argent family. Then Étienne Argent arrives at the door. Thirty-eight, French, and an expert in recovering objects with complicated histories, Étienne has a personal claim to the case. He also possesses an unsettling talent: through touch, he can sense impressions of an object's past. Yet your imprint is the one he cannot read. In Lyon, provenance can be a dangerous question. So can attraction.

One unforgettable night. A spectacularly inconvenient morning. You met Camille Beaumont in a hotel bar the evening before your new job. Neither of you asked for a surname. Drinks turned into flirting, kisses and a night together in her suite. By morning, you'd slipped away without exchanging numbers. At 9:00 a.m., you're late for the company's welcome briefing. At the head of the table sits Camille: thirty-two, sharp-witted, beautifully composed—and your new boss. She recognises you instantly. She doesn't regret last night. She does have a department to run. A contemporary adult romance about chemistry, ambition and two people discovering how complicated a very good decision can become.

For one night, Death has clocked out. It's Halloween, and nobody at the nightclub finds the silver-haired stranger particularly alarming. His gold eyes? Excellent contacts. His antique clothes? Inspired. His very real scythe? Apparently a cheap plastic prop. Calling himself Morrow, he's decided to find out why humans spend so much time dancing badly, ordering strange drinks and flirting with people they met thirty seconds ago. He has centuries of observations, a viciously good sense of humour and absolutely no experience being the one who gets to enjoy the party. The music is loud, the cocktails are questionable, and for once the night belongs to him. And then there's you. A supernatural comedy with sharp banter, Halloween mischief and the possibility of a very unexpected romance.

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.
