      Got Love? - Angela Hayes

      Inc.

      Tucking a few extra napkins

      in her coat pocket, Flora picked up her coffee, only to spin around and smash right into a cashmere-clad brick wall.

      "Aw, snapdragons! She exclaimed over a chorus of stunned gasps and excited squeals, the contents of her cup now soaking the shirt in front of her. Thinking quickly she dropped the near empty cup, pulled her scarf from around her neck, and used it to blot at the spreading coffee stain. Sorry. I’m so sorry."

      It’s my fault, I was too close.

      Flora looked up. All rational thought fled her mind. This was no elf, fairy, or nymph in front of her. Oh, no, this was a cupid! Gorgeous beyond description with tempting chocolate eyes a fae-kin could get lost in for days, he had a neatly-trimmed beard that framed a perfect white smile and dark shoulder-length hair that accented a face obviously carved by The Mother, Cailleach Bheur herself.

      Wow, you are ripped under there, aren’t you? She admired without thinking, only to blush when she realized what she’d said. The man was in possession of a clearly well-muscled chest and the requisite washboard abs that went with it. Not that I’m trying to cop a feel or anything, she confessed. But that’s nice. Kudos on the hard work by the way. Shaking her head, Flora mentally chided herself. This was not going well.

      Chapter 1

      Gorse fairy Flora Hawthorne looked up from where she was pinning paper heart chains to the inside of her storefront display window. Distracted for a moment by the reflected wide hazel eyes, framed by a cloud of auburn hair, she caught sight of her roommate, best friend and elf Runa Gilchrist, running across the street toward the shop, blonde curls flying in every direction. Incoming, she warned her other roommate and best friend, banshee Fia O’Malley.

      Where Runa was bright and fair with clear porcelain skin and sharp lines attesting to her heritage among the light fae, Fia’s beautiful features done in shades and shadows with exotic blue eyes marked her as one from the dark side. For her part, Flora, born under the gorse flower, fell among the nature fae, with a rosy complexion and earthen color pallet.

      Flora’s keen gaze tracked the blonde’s movements until the cheery bell above the door gave a tinkle and Runa swept inside the cozy florist shop, escorted by a chilly February wind.

      Good, you two are alone, she exclaimed. Winded, she took a quick look around to ensure there were no large-eared humans afoot who might be listening in on what she had to say.

      Part of a clandestine community of fae living among humans, keeping the secret of their supernatural existence was paramount to their continued survival. From childhood, the trio had been warned about the dire consequences that awaited any member of the fae stupid enough to expose their kinsmen, either by unintended actions or by deliberate choice.

      Hey, this is cute, Runa declared. You’re doing a great job.

      Valentine’s is thirteen days away, and the stench of unrequited love is in the air! Fia warned from her spot at the ribbon station where she was making pew bows for the multitude of weddings being held this weekend.

      Is that what the smell is? Runa exclaimed, waving a hand in front of her nose. I thought it was the aroma of undersexed and desperate horn-dogs hoping to finally get lucky.

      Haha. Good one, but nope, you’re both wrong, Flora pointed out from her spot on the ladder where she was hanging a curtain of lighted tulle behind the hearts. "That is the wonderful perfume of couples that are deeply in love and willing to spend their hard-earned cash to show their love in the very pricy form of my flowers. Sure it may be tinged with anxious desperation and the overwhelming potency of high hopes, but everybody needs love. Plus their money spends the same, and mama needs a new flower cooler. Digging into the apron she was wearing, Flora tossed Runa a small candy box. This year’s theme, Got Love?,
