Heart Eyes
Adam and Penn's First Valentine's Day
2018
Adam Fischer doesn’t like Valentine’s Day.
Why? For starters, he’s never been in a relationship on the day and has never had a chance to celebrate with someone who cares for him. But also, the constant PDAs from loved-up couples, and the ridiculous, tacky decorations are driving him up a wall.
This year, however, Adam wants to do something fun with his boyfriend Penn Shields, but is finding it hard to come up with ideas that are not a cliché, or that don’t involve foil, heart-shaped balloons.
With the help of his friends Jared and Fenix, Adam and Penn have a blast on their first Valentine’s Day together, and maybe, just maybe, Adam could be convinced the holiday has its merits.

It features the characters from Teodora Kostova's West End series but can be enjoyed as a sexy stand-alone Valentine's Day story.
