Kiss or Treat? This Halloween Inspired Artisan Sweet Meet-Cute Story is meant for all lovers of fall and fall festivals who love sweet and cozy romance short stories.
Kiss or Treat: A Sweet Meet-Cute Story (Artisan Romance Sweet Meet-Cute Stories)
When the Maple Street fall festival turns the neighborhood into a river of lights and laughter, art teacher Hailey is there with paint-spattered sleeves, a booth full of tiny watercolors, and a heart she’s still mending. Enter Jack—a Navy photographer with steady hands, a soft smile, and a way of noticing the quiet good. He comes to help for one evening… and ends up fitting into every corner of Hailey’s life.
From a bonfire with friends and cider-steam in the air, to a slow dance that steadies more than footsteps, to pizza night where sketches and photographs trade stories, Hailey and Jack learn the tender art of going slow—on purpose. He captures light in windows; she teaches kids to see their world in color. Together, they discover how love grows in small acts: a fixed game, a shared joke, a classroom visit, a promise kept.
Kiss or Treat is a sweet, swoony, closed-door romance filled with fall vibes, found family, and the hope that comes from being truly seen. No spice—just heart, warmth, and a happily-ever-after you can savor.
Perfect for readers who love: cozy neighborhoods, gentle heroes, teacher main characters, slow burn chemistry, and autumn settings you can almost smell.
