Midnight Rebel by Fern Fraser

Autum
Returning to my hometown was never in the cards, but investigating The Manor House? That’s my golden ticket to a career-making story. I expected challenges—but I didn’t expect Colt.
The gruff, dangerously gorgeous heir to The Manor is pure trouble. Every instinct is telling me to run, but I can’t stay away. The more I fall for him, the more his secrets pull me in.
Uncovering the truth could be my biggest story yet—or it could destroy everything between us. Do I risk losing his trust, or do I give it all up for a chance at something real?

Colt
I’ve spent years guarding my space and locking down my secrets. Then Autumn storms into my life with her teasing smile and fearless attitude, and suddenly, nothing feels safe—not my heart, and definitely not my closely guarded secrets.
Keeping her at arm’s length is getting harder by the second. The harder I try, the harder it gets to imagine life without her. But if she digs too deep, the truth could send her running faster than I can stop her.
But I can’t let her go. She’s mine, and I’ll fight to keep her—no matter what.

Midnight Rebel is a spicy standalone romance featuring a brooding biker with a secret soft side and a fearless reporter determined to uncover the truth—and his heart. Set against the backdrop of a quirky, Halloween-obsessed small town, this steamy story delivers masked attractions, forbidden desires, and a love that’s sweeter than any trick-or-treat haul. Low angst, no other man or woman drama, no cliffhanger.
