Title: My Not So Funny Valentine\xa0
\xa0
She ran away once and he nailed his heart shut\u2026
\xa0
Gigi\u2019s got plenty of secrets. Like how she\u2019s married to her job, literally. The Order called on her family for a tribute and she answered. Even more secrets surround her not-so-deceased boss who\u2019s entrusted her to keep his location hidden from The Order. But through it all, she\u2019s never forgotten her first love.
\xa0
Wallis remembers exactly how he felt when Gigi told him she was marrying a man she barely knew and moving to the West Coast. Wallis never told her what he\u2019d found out at his wolf pack adulthood ceremony\u2014that they\u2019re fated mates. He\u2019s kept the secret to himself through the years.\xa0
\xa0
Eighteen years later, she\u2019s standing in the lobby of the Dark Wing cruise ship where Wallis works. Her couture exterior didn\u2019t match the shredding she\u2019d done on Wallis\u2019s youthful heart.
\xa0
Fate has brought Wallis and Gigi back together on the Dark Wing cruise ship. Now Can he stay away from her for the whole Valentine\u2019s Day cruise to protect his shattered heart? Or will Gigi\u2019s secrets turn both their worlds upside down?
\xa0
This is book two in a standalone series, a full-length steamy read. Grab a box of chocolates and see how fate takes hold. HEA and no cliffhanger!
