Author's Note

Winner of Michelle Jo Quinn's Just Pitch It contest and a featured story in the Hearts on Sleeves Valentine's Anthology.

Romance was so 2010!

Ever since her husband left, Josie prefers to think of Valentine's Day as a kid's holiday and nothing more. Finally happy on her own, she's perfectly content to spend the day doling out heart-shaped cookies at her son's preschool. When she learns she'll be paired with another parent during the school party, a candy shop owner named Brook, Josie figures she'll spend the time chatting about life as working mothers. Much to her surprise, working mother Brook is actually hot, single dad Brook.

Could this holiday hold promise of something sweet for Josie after all?
