The Valentine's Bet

What happens when a hopeful romantic bets a grumpy skeptic that love really exists?
Now that I’ve landed my dream job in NYC, I’m finally ready to find Mr. Right.
What better way to meet new people in a big city than a speed dating event?
Or so I thought—until I got stuck with the biggest cynic in the room.
Parker’s disdain for love drives me crazy, yet there’s something about his icy blue-green eyes that draws me in.
Determined to prove to him that love exists, I find myself betting him that I can find a boyfriend by Valentine’s Day.
Yet somehow, every cringe-worthy date I endure ends with Parker swooping in to rescue me.
As our rivalry evolves into an unexpected friendship, I catch glimpses of the caring man hidden beneath his tough facade.
Now, I can’t ignore the flutter in my heart when he’s around.
But is it just the thrill of competition, or is there something deeper brewing between us?
