Perfect for you if...

  • You love a high-stakes romance where chemistry crackles despite terrible circumstances.
  • You want a cosy mystery mixed with genuine sparks, not just a whodunit with romance sprinkled on top.
  • You're in the mood for something you can finish in one sitting without abandoning a longer book.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need a full-length novel with room for character development and subplot breathing space.
  • You prefer mysteries where the detective work takes centre stage over the romantic tension.
  • You're looking for a straightforward love story without dark elements like murder investigations.

About this book

After her boyfriend's betrayal, Maia St. James has no interest in celebrating Valentine's Day. When friends convince her to attend a Death to Valentine's Day masquerade ball at a mountain lodge, she kisses a masked stranger—only to discover he is her ex's older brother. Matters worsen when a guest is found murdered at the event. The party transforms into a mystery, and Maia must identify the killer before her budding romance is jeopardized. This short story is part of The Improbable Meet-Cute: Second Chances series, which features stories for star-crossed lovers and hopeless romantics. Each story can be read or listened to in one sitting.
