Haunted & Held

by Cassie Meadows · Steamy Romantic Comedy

She writes the nightmares. He fixes the reality. Zadie Calloway creates monsters for a living. Real life scares her more. She sleeps with three nightlights. The closet gets checked nightly. Her nemesis is a screaming radiator she can't fix. A slippery ladder sends her plummeting into the arms of the new Building Super. Roy Mitchell. Nine years ago he was a death wish in a leather jacket. She ran to save the secret growing inside her. The man catching her now is different. He trades parachutes for a tool belt. Leaks get fixed instead of bones getting broken. He thinks he is just repairing the building. Meeting the eight-year-old girl behind the couch will change that. The kid has his chin and his total lack of fear. Zadie built a fortress to keep the world out. Roy is the only one with the keys. Some secrets are too big to hide behind a couch.
