Animal attraction is immediately evident when an adjunct professor accidentally walks into the Croton University event planner's office on Halloween. But Hugo and Zane are both hiding secrets right from the start. Hugo has a special bond with his sister Hallie. She thinks the connection between her brother and Zane is both natural and magical, and therefore goes to extreme measures to convince the pair they belong together.  A year later, just before the next Halloween, Zane insists he must leave Croton. Devasted, Hugo wonders if he can go with him. Zane claims it's impossible. Animal instincts still draw the pair together. Once all truths are revealed, will that lead to a clear path at love? Can animal instincts and a little magic make the impossible possible?
