Spending Valentine’s Day trapped in the backseat of a car with my best friend’s little brother wasn’t exactly part of my plans.
I’ve been secretly in love with Carter Hayes for sixteen years and spent most of them pretending I wasn’t.
Last year, I almost kissed him, but the next morning I panicked and let him believe it meant nothing.
Now, a year later, we’re snowed in with nowhere to hide, and I’m finally ready to tell him the truth.
I just don’t know if I’m already too late.
My Not-Quite Valentine is a spicy 21k-word standalone MM romance about lifelong pining, emotional repression, a snowed-in Valentine’s Day, and two men who lose years to fear before finally choosing each other. It’s the second book in the My Valentine Disaster series but can be read on its own.
