The Sheriff's Halloween Promise

A Balsam Ridge Sweet Holiday novella

By: Tessa Wilde

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Luke:
As the sheriff of Balsam Ridge, I’ve spent years keeping things under control, but Eliza Hayes throws everything off balance the moment she arrives. She’s hiding something—I can see it in her eyes, feel it in every guarded smile—but that only makes me want to protect her more. With the Halloween festival bringing chaos to town and trouble brewing beneath the surface, I can’t shake the feeling that she’s in danger. And when a fire puts her life on the line, I’ll stop at nothing to keep her safe, even if it means risking my own heart in the process.

Eliza:
I came to Balsam Ridge to escape—to hide from the life I left behind and the man who made me doubt everything I thought I knew. I’m not looking for love, and definitely not with someone like Luke Greyson, the town’s charming, protective sheriff who sees far too much. But the more time I spend with him, the harder it is to keep my walls intact. When a fire threatens to take away the one thing that’s given me peace, I realize that maybe Balsam Ridge isn’t just a place to hide—it’s a place to heal. And maybe, just maybe, it’s where I’m meant to find love again.

Welcome to Balsam Ridge—a cozy small town where the fall colors are vibrant, the community is close-knit, and love can blossom when you least expect it. Here, everyone looks out for each other, and second chances are always just around the corner.

The Sheriff’s Halloween Promice is a sweet and clean short romantic novella.
