Cora Whitt has watched Sleepy Hollow revel and profit on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow for years, but she knows the truth behind the legend. There is no Headless Horseman, no headless Hessian out for revenge. Nope. Just a girl who fell for the wrong guy and got herself killed. And damn right she's out for revenge. Who wouldn't be? It was all her friend Washington "Irvie" Irving's idea to change the story and have it published. Now more than two hundred years later Cora is living with one foot in the land of the living and one foot on the other side; a photographer by day and a vengeful spirit astride a ghost-horse named Blood by night. Until a ghost from her past stirs up trouble... This is not a love story... When Chance Jordan receives a cryptic note from his father begging him to investigate a series of unusual deaths plaguing the Hollow, he walks into a situation he was not expecting. Nothing in his hometown of Sleepy Hollow is what it appears, especially not the beautiful girl his father claims he knew thirty years ago. There's something off about Cora Whitt, a girl cloaked in secrets. Yet their sexual chemistry is so off the charts Chance can't force himself to stay away. Murder, mystery, and legend converge in Headless, a dark, sexy reimagining of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
