Participating in Valentine’s Day and its disturbing practice of obligatory gift-giving and forced cheer has me wanting to stab someone.

And by someone, I mean my secret admirer.

My obsession with you has made my life a living nightmare. And a little more interesting.

This has to stop, which is the only reason I enlist the aid of out-of-work journalist Jules Woodbury. The man is irritatingly charming, undeniably gorgeous, and way too secretive. Fortunately, he’s also straight because finding this stalker is my sole focus.

But as Valentine’s Day draws near, resisting Jules and this chemistry developing between us becomes increasingly difficult. And since the letters and gifts suggest my secret admirer knows me—gets me—I find myself caught in an unexpected triangle between the man I want and the one who wants me.

14 Days to Resist My Valentine is an opposites attract, bi-awakening, small town gay romance. It features an antisocial hero, a secretly obsessed journalist, lots of pining, and a sweet pug named Teacup.

This story was originally part of the Candy Hearts (Vol 1) charity anthology under the title of Inconceivably Yours. It has been expanded and retitled. It directly follows 12 Gays of Christmas but can be listened to as a standalone.
