The Designated Valentine

Angry girl energy? Check.

There are only two things I loathe in this world: Valentine's Day and Mason Kane. Valentine's Day is actually Single's Recognition Day, and Mason Kane is the genesis of my contemptuous heart. I've totally moved on, and my life is great.

Just great.

Should I say it one more time so you'll believe me?

That is, until both elements of my hatred merge together into a nightmare of epic proportions. One: Heading the Valentine's Day marketing campaign for my boss's jewelry brand as a way to fulfill my internship class. Two: Mason Kane will be appearing in the commercials.

Ruining my life again.

I can't mess this up, but how can I pretend everything is fine after how Mason disappeared from my life three years ago?

I never thought I'd build a vacation home in Mississippi, but one reason is all I need: Karoline Wright, my childhood best friend, lives there, and I realized a little too late that I was in love with her. But all my grandiose plans to reunite with her are tossed out of the window when I'm ushered into her sphere sooner than expected.

Why did I agree to star in a jewelry commercial for Valentine's Day, and why on God's green earth is Karoline heading up the campaign?

Now, I have to figure out how to get all this boiling hot water between us under a very big bridge. Stat.

It's now or never. I have to weasel my way back into her life and prove myself changed against her rightfully earned suspicions and doubts. And maybe--just maybe--the bricks will crumble away from the mile-high wall she's built over the past three years.

The Designated Valentine is a spice-free sweet and seething friends to enemies to lovers NA romantic comedy with plenty of sizzle.
