Kissed in Paradise Crystal Lacy

Cary: My impromptu vacation before a job interview in Hawaii gets interesting when my best friend books me a "tour guide" for four days from Valentine's Inc-a date-for-hire app. The guy he hired? Fei Li, an ex-classmate from high school and the guy who made me realize I was gay in the first place. Now Fei's determined to give me my money's worth, and I don't know how I'll be able to go through four days of fake-dating with him and keep from sinking deeper into my infatuation. Don't know if I even want to try.

Fei: Past and present collide when a last-minute gig turns out to be my high school crush, the football team captain who once walked in on me with another player in the locker room. I'm determined to prove I'm no longer the angry, nerdy kid I once was-even if being around Cary Jackson makes me feel like a teenager all over again. I'm going to make our four dates rock his world, all without crossing the professional line I've set for myself after a disastrous slip in the past. This is all pretend. I've got to remember that. No falling for a client. A standalone novella-length story in the Valentine's Inc. universe about opposites attracting, missed chances, and new beginnings. 25,000 words.
