Annabel den Dekker

Valentini's Day
After finding their way back to each other in Just Like Christmas, Sam and Niall are ready to celebrate their first Valentine’s Day together. Hoping to take their relationship to the next level and make it official, Niall plans a romantic picnic, complete with a homemade whipped cream pie for Sam. But nothing goes as planned—his nerves get the best of him, and the cold threatens to ruin everything. Just when it seems like the day is falling apart, they find a way to heat things up. Will their intimacy give Niall the courage to finally ask the question?
The Day Before Life Goes On
In this sweet, sapphic (bonus!) story, Jess goes above and beyond to create a perfect Valentine's Day for her girlfriend, Meg, who is slowly healing from a painful past. Through baking and tender moments, she helps her feel cherished and safe, even if just for one special day.
*While Valentini's Day features characters from the novel Just Like Christmas, it is a standalone short story.
Valentini's Day originally appeared in Craving A Spicy Valentine's Day Anthology and The Day Before Life Goes On originally appeared in Recipes for A Sweet Valentine's Day Anthology, both published by And You Press, an imprint of Nicole Frail Books, released in February 2025.
