Once Upon an Heirloom

Sylvie Noll did not want to sell her grandmother's ring. But after a charming ex cleaned out her savings and nearly took her business with him, she didn't have a choice.

She didn't expect anyone to buy it and track her down to return it. She especially didn't expect him to be Everett William Sperry III — devoted philanthropist, possessor of genuinely good intentions, and the world's most endearingly awkward billionaire.

His plan was simple: find her, return the ring, maybe ask her to dinner. What he did not plan for was doing all of that on Valentine's Day, or for the moment he produced the ring over dinner to go quite so sideways.

Sylvie has questions. Everett has explanations. It's going to take a minute.

A swoony, laugh out loud Valentine's Day novelette about grand gestures gone gloriously wrong and the kind of man who means so well it's impossible not to fall for him.
