The Valentine Arrangement

The deal was simple: He pretends to be my boyfriend. I help him survive Valentine's rush. Three weeks, no feelings. That lasted about forty-eight hours before the plan fell apart.

When I followed my ex to his tiny Colorado hometown for shared custody of our corgis, I wasn't planning to fall for the town's most closed-off resident. But when Holden Hutchinson—brooding, massive, and irritatingly handsome—kisses me in front of my ex to shut him up, we accidentally start a rumor neither of us knows how to stop.

The deal is straightforward: I help him survive Valentine's rush at his flower shop. He pretends to be my boyfriend until my ex backs off. Three weeks. No feelings. Easy.

Except Holden's hands are gentle when they're buried in roses. His rare smiles hit like a shot of whiskey. And the way he looks at me—like I'm not too much for once—makes me want things I swore I'd stopped wanting.

He says he likes the quiet. I've never been quiet a day in my life.

But every fake kiss feels dangerously real. Every night in his arms makes the end date harder to remember. And when Valentine's Day arrives, I'm terrified the only heart getting broken will be mine.

The Valentine Arrangement is a high-heat M/M romance novella with a guaranteed HEA, two corgis who steal every scene, and a grumpy/sunshine pairing that will melt your heart.
