This book is exclusive to the Once Upon A Valentine anthology. The saying no good deed goes unpunished couldn't be truer... Eric Holmes is sure Cupid is hiding in the bushes making fun of him; why else would he grudgingly agree to accompany his irritating neighbor to a Valentine's Day Party pretending to be her current boyfriend. Oh, there might have been the slight factor that she rescued his dog and offered him a bowl of delicious chili to weaken his resolve after he had flatly refused her bizarre request the first time. He just needed to make sure she knew this was a one-time deal. Jennifer Barnes needs a date and she will do anything to get one, even resort to bribing her less than thrilled neighbor. This is her chance to prove to her group of friends that she is over her ex-fiancée and cheating ex-best friend's betrayal. The last thing she wants is to show up alone and have to deal with everyone's inquisitive looks. If it means burying her pride for a night and using less than honorable methods to get him to agree, so be it! Can Jennifer and Eric put on a good enough show to convince everyone that Jennifer is finally over the humiliation, or will she become the laughing stock of the party? Or even worse, what happens if Cupid's arrow strikes her again and she finds her new neighbor isn't as infuriating as she thought?
