Chapter One

Eight days until Valentine’s Day . . .

“NO, I REALLY do. I hate Valentine’s Day,” Ryan Ashton said firmly, her blue eyes serious.

Gregg threw his hands in the air. “Come on! All girls say that so they won’t be disappointed when their significant other doesn’t measure up to the hype of romanticism. If a woman doesn’t get any of those heart-shaped boxes of candy or a dozen red roses, she’ll sit in front of the TV with a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked, crying pathetically while watching The Notebook.”

Ryan tossed him a glare from across the table of the only coffee shop in their little town, The Local Bean. “Well it’s a good thing I don’t have a significant other to expect things from.”

Gregg asked, “So no plans, then?”

She took a sip of her coffee and assured him, “It’s not a big deal. When I was eleven I had to put my horse Shara down on Valentine’s Day. It scarred me for life.”

Gregg raised an eyebrow at her and replied, “Really? A horse?”

Ryan’s glare became murderous. “Are you laughing at my pain?”

Gregg deadpanned, “No, of course not.”

She turned her head from left to right and reached out to smack him on the arm.
