    About this ebook

    Ivy hates Valentine's Day.

    It's the one day of the year she can't ignore that her best friend would rather be with any other woman than her. And when he hooks her up with some stupid anti-valentine's day scavenger hunt to distract her, she's so not in the mood. Not unless he goes with her.

    Miles wants to see his best friend, Ivy, happy.

    That includes falling for a man who deserves her. Until then, he can distract her on her least favorite holiday.

    As the scavenger hunt from Single Status takes them down several pathways in their past, they're forced to admit how they feel, but when Miles secrets come out, their history apart could destroy their chance of a future together.

    This Valentine's Day being single is all the rage. At least that's what the website, Single Status says and they're not trying to set you up with your special someone. But, instead, give you the time of your life. Sign up a family member, a friend or join yourself. Single Status will send an anonymous letter with details of an activity for the day. #ValentinesDayIsntJustForCouples.

    Read stories from 14 of your favorite authors in this brand new Valentine's series. Follow characters as they receive instructions from Single Status and navigate their love lives in tales of varying degrees of romantic heat.

      For my eternal dragon

      CHAPTER ONE

      Miles grinned when Ivy’s face flashed on his phone, along with the familiar ringtone that filled his bedroom. Bright blue eyes on a freckled face, framed by a messy-and-sexy-as-hell ponytail, smiled up at him.

      He swiped Answer. Morning. It was impossible to keep the cheer from his greeting.

      What is this?

      Not quite the hello he expected. You’ll have to be more specific. It couldn’t be the gift he’d arranged for her, to keep his best friend from wallowing on Valentine’s Day. She was going to love that.

      This letter.

      Yeah, that wasn’t sounding great. About...? He flipped through the button-down shirts hanging in his closet. This wasn’t the best day for soliciting charitable donations, but it wasn’t bad. Showing up as the attractive single guy, complete with the right wink and a little flirting, usually got him in a couple extra doors.

      I know you did this. Some guy just knocked on my door—he was dressed like a bellhop or something, completely with the little hat—and handed me a black envelope.

      That would be his gift from Single Status. The letter was supposed to distract her, not piss her off. Did you open it? Miles asked.

      No. I called you irritated because of a pretty black envelope. Her sarcasm was heavy, but some of her irritation was vanishing in amusement. Do you know what’s in here?

      The promise on the website was that it would give Ivy a way to celebrate her single status. An anti-Valentine’s kind of thing. Something super amazing, for my bestest friend ever.

      So, no.

      Busted.

      She laughed. Staying angry had never been her thing. You’re impossible. And I’m not doing it.

      "What is it?" Now he was really curious. Some of the examples on the website were gift cards and reservations for one to high end restaurants, opera tickets... Each adventure was supposed to be customized to the receiver.

      Some of Ivy’s favorite things were games and her art, and he’d driven that point home when he filled out their pages of forms.

      It’s a scavenger hunt.

      He’d paid top dollar for a scavenger hunt? Excuse me?

      You heard me. Apparently I can complete the tasks on my own, but if I want to upload my results to their forum, there’s blind voting, and the person with the best finds wins.

      Wins what?

      A prize. I didn’t go to the website and look.

      That didn’t sound too bad. In fact, it sounded kind of fun. You should do it. If you’re not in the mood, I bet you don’t even have to interact with anyone.

      No. I appreciate the thought and the gift, Miles, but I have plans. She still sounded amused, but the warning was creeping into her tone. That edge that said he needed to ease up soon.

      He could picture what she looked like right now. Her lips would be pursed—and perfectly kissable—and she’d be pacing, probably chewing on a pen or the end of a paintbrush.

      Speaking of, he needed to finish getting ready for work. Maybe he should have sent the letter to himself. A scavenger hunt sounded more fun than his day.

      But he was more worried about Ivy having a good time. Since when do you have plans? He wasn’t making fun. She’d told him two days ago she was going to spend the day wallowing and ignoring the world.

      Since last time we talked. Will the world end if I don’t do this?

      Sitting around hating the world is not a plan. He grabbed a tie. He wasn’t worried about the sunk cost if she gave up, but he was worried about her. Ivy deserved better than the memories of broken hearts she had from previous Valentine’s Days. She deserved a guy who worshipped her and adored her and didn’t hurt her.

      That last one yanked Miles straight off the good enough for Ivy list.

      I just want to do it for a day. She sighed.

      Fuck it. Her scavenger hunt sounded way more fun than work, and since he was the boss, he could take the day off. He tossed his tie back with the others, and grabbed a more casual suit coat. If I go with you, will you play?

      He’d hang out with her, make sure she had an amazing day, and be done in time for his date tonight. Date was a loose term. More like heart-day inspired one-night stand.

      That’s not why I called.

      I know. And that’s not what I asked. He wanted her to see the day wasn’t any worse than any other, and maybe draw her out of her love sucks funk.

      It wasn’t the best logic, but he was trying. Her last breakup hit her hard, and he didn’t know how to help. This was weak, but he needed to try something new.

      If you go with me, then I guess I have to do it. If she meant the words to sound resigned, she failed. The hint of glee in her reply was enough to make him smile.

      I’ll be there in fifteen minutes. Be ready.

      Yes, sir. She laughed. One of his favorite sounds.

      And that was the problem. The longer she was single, the harder it was to keep his feelings to himself. He wouldn’t tell her how he felt. Where their lives intersected was perfect, but where things diverged... He wasn’t the kind of guy she needed to commit to, because he wasn’t the kind of guy who could commit.

      CHAPTER TWO

      Ivy wanted to be upset about the letter, and Miles’s assumption that she needed to be distracted today.

      She wanted to be, but she couldn’t fight her smile. She loved that he thought of her.

      Besides, the scavenger hunt looked like fun, and there was no way
