How to Ruin Halloween : A Spicy Halloween Rom Com Short Story (The Boo’d Up Series: Spicy Halloween Rom-Com Shorts Book 1)

All Marla DiFranco wanted was revenge—and maybe a little catharsis.

After her ex-boyfriend dumped her for Candace Lovelace at the Halloween Bon Bon Festival—sponsored, of course, by Ferrero Rocher—Marla DiFranco swore off Halloween for good.

But when the festival returns, so does her perfectly petty plan: swap every Ferrero Rocher in her nemesis’s candy display with chocolate-dipped Brussels sprouts.

It’s flawless. Devious. Deliciously unhinged.

Until a late-night encounter with a devastatingly handsome chocolatier threatens to expose her sweet revenge—and melt her cold, chocolate-hating heart.

Add a little sugar, a dash of chaos, and a whole lot of spice, and you’ve got one unforgettable Halloween night.
