Lost Daydreaming - Hillary Slaughter

. .

Résumé :

Finding a job out of state and building a new life away from loss and family expectations was supposed to be the easy part.

Unfortunately for Chloe, the universe didn't get that memo. Now she's a jobless college graduate, trying to figure out what's next.

When her best friend Derek drags her to a friend's Halloween party, she's ready to call it an early night so she can return to wallowing on her couch. What she doesn't expect is to meet her perfect guy. He's attractive, gainfully employed, and can carry a conversation. The only downside: he's obsessed with Halloween, Chloe's least favorite holiday.

Now, thanks to a bet with Derek (the world's worst wingman), Chloe's forced to attend every Halloween activity she's invited to. On the up side, this means she gets to see a lot of her dream guy. But it also means she and Derek are spending a lot of quality time together and it has Chloe reevaluating her choice to stick Derek in the friendzone.

However, letting Derek in means being vulnerable and opening herself up to pain she's fought for years to bury. Can Chloe find the courage to face her past and allow love in, even when it means letting go of her daydreams and embracing reality and all its complications?
