In fogbound Witch Haven Bay, love doesn't die.
It waits. And it remembers.

When Marina Vale arrives in the seaside town on the edge of winter, she isn't looking for magic, ghosts, or even a fresh start. She's trying to stop running from a heartbreak that feels as if it hollowed out her life. Witch Haven Bay, however, has other plans.

The town is preparing for its annual Valentine's Day Masquerade Ball, a midnight tradition whispered to reveal truths that might be best left hidden. As Marina is drawn into the town's quiet rituals, mischievous spirits, and an unsettlingly familiar cat who never leaves her side, she discovers that her arrival has stirred something long dormant — a legacy bound to devotion, choice, and a love that never truly ended.

With the masquerade approaching and the fog growing thick with memory, Marina must decide whether to leave before the past claims her… or stay and confront the bond tying her heart to Witch Haven Bay itself.

Because on Valentine's night, when the masks come off, hidden truths are revealed, and the ghosts grow bold. Love doesn't ask politely.

It asks to be chosen.

Midnight Masquerade is a cozy Gothic romantasy (romantic fantasy) featuring:

• a witchy seaside town with a living memory
• playful ghosts and soft, atmospheric magic
• a slow-burn, second-chance love story
• found family warmth
• and a mysterious cat who may know more than he should

Some love stories don't end.
They wait for midnight.
