Hunted By the Headless Horseman by Emily Shore

You’ll never look at pumpkin spice—or giving head—the same way again.

BELLE: I woke the Headless Horseman—and now I have no choice but to help him break his curse. His tragic past draws me in. He listens. He burns. He wants. And despite everything, I want him too. I’m falling—fast and deep—for a man with no face. If I can’t break his curse, he’ll be lost to me forever.

HEADLESS HORSEMAN: Belle is bound to me, the key to breaking my curse. She is my salvation, my obsession, my fate. I’ll hunt her until she knows there’s no escape from a Horseman without a head—or a heart.

Set in the eerie autumn woods of the Appalachian Mountains, this book features spicy times in corn mazes, apple bobbing, a harvest festival, and a cozy bookstore you’ll fall hard for. Add haunted trails, old-world magic, and an abandoned Gothic manor with a cemetery—all wrapped around a gentleman Horseman with dark desires and a wicked riding crop.

The fifth standalone in the series that brought you Kidnapped by the Krampus —Fans of Ghosts of Halloween and Scream For Us who crave old lore retellings with gripping plots and enthusiastic consent will love Hunted by the Headless Horseman.
