Sometimes good things go bump in the night.

To Garrett Stark, bestselling horror novelist, Savannah is the place his career began. So when a deadline looms and he still has only a couple of sentences on a page, he returns to the city that once sparked his imagination and settles in to await his suddenly temperamental muse.

Nothing works until a towheaded tyke named Max sneaks into his house one night. Garrett takes the little boy home and gets the surprise of his life. Max's mother, Livy Frasier, is the woman Garrett left behind -- and Garrett is the little boy's father!

Livy only wants Garrett to go away. But she can't ignore the light in her son's eyes. And the more time Garrett spends with Max and her, the more she feels the magic in Garrett that made her fall in love with him all those years ago.

He left her once before, though. And if those legal documents she comes across are any clue, he's about to do it again.

Except that Max has magic in him, too -- a talent for fixing things with love. As Garrett and Livy soon find out!
