Posted October 1, 2025 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Contemporary Romance, Previously Published, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

I’ve had a Valentine’s Day curse ever since dumping my cheating ex twelve months ago… Leaving me celebrating this year in a crowded Soho pub with only my two BFFs, a bar full of bacholorettes on a bender and a jug of pomegranate daquiris for company…

Tash and Imo decide the only way to break my curse is to have my first-ever one-night hook-up – strictly no relationship agendas allowed. Then they spot the perfect candidate – all broody bad boy vibes and shoulders to die for – sitting at the bar alone.

Armed with the cheesiest chat-up line ever invented (gee, thanks, Tash and Imo) and one too many pomegranate daquiris, I decide to go for it… What’s the worst that could happen?

Um, quite a lot actually, when Cal turns out to be the world’s hottest kisser (yup, that cheesy chat-up line actually worked!), but I pass out on his sofa and wake up the next morning with the world’s worst hangover and no idea if we broke my curse or not.

One major misunderstanding and a touch of life modeling later, and Cal finally breaks my Valentine’s Day curse, for real…

But what do I do when my brooding billionaire booty call turns out to be so broken my sneaky heart starts wanting to break the second rule of one-night hookups: absolutely no falling in love allowed!
