Lesbian Paranormal Romance - PG13 - Open Door Heat

Halloween Special From Francesca Bacci

Voice is power. Love carries the note.

Rhea Kim has made a career of staying off‑stage. As the mayor’s chief of staff in Tideglass Harbor, she keeps the agendas clean, the optics sharp, and her heart safely behind the podium. Elodie Mercier, a folk archivist with a singer’s ear, lives for the song between the lines—field recordings, half‑remembered melodies, and the hush a room holds when the right note lands. When a cadence fragment woven through an old harbor lullaby begins to wake strange, gentle "attention" in the town, Rhea and Elodie realize the melody may be the rhythm missing from a drowned grimoire page—and the key to tightening the Harbor Binding before the Moonveil thins again.

Every time the song is tested, the town answers back: a latch clicks; a bead of brine slides; Button, the prankish child ghost, hums in time. The melody wants a chorus. The cabal that’s been pushing haunt‑tourism wants silence. Between council hearings, midnight archive sessions, and a nerve‑tugging street rehearsal, Rhea and Elodie have to risk visibility—professionally, publicly, and personally. Because some notes only resolve when sung out loud.

Come for the competence‑kink (optics wizard × field singer), the flirty banter threaded through fog and lantern‑light, and the town that refuses to sell its soul. Stay for the consent‑forward romance—closed‑door in packaging, but honest about desire on the page—and for a payoff that lets the community win together: a lullaby restored, a page revealed, and a veil steadied by willing voices.

In Moonveil Nights, love holds the line when the boundary between ordinary and uncanny thins. Each book delivers a full HEA, an atmospheric cozy‑spooky mystery (never gore), and signature, consent‑forward heat that stays retail‑safe. **Gallows Ropes & Hope Notes** pairs public courage with private tenderness as two women step from supporting roles into the light they’ve earned.

Series touchstones you’ll find here: the Harbor Binding, small phenomena that answer attention (we say attention, not curse), town‑hall civics under plastic, and Button’s mischievous dares. Lore threads from earlier books return—the drowned grimoire finally sings; the chorus becomes a ward. And yes, there’s a Theme Party Kit in the back matter so readers can host a **Lanterns & Lullabies Night** with safe, flirty accessories, consent bracelets (green / comma / red), and a printable lyrics card.

Perfect for readers who love sapphic romance with witchy vibes, witty voice, community competence, and scare‑cute set pieces (lighthouse glow, street rehearsals under paper lanterns, a studio kiss that changes the room). If you’re here for brave women, clever magic rules, and a town that believes consent is power—welcome back to Tideglass Harbor.

Packaging note: PG‑13 copy, no on‑page explicit terms. Inside the book you’ll get sensual, consent‑on‑page heat with aftercare and humor—because intimacy belongs to the people who choose it.
