Holidate Book Up
C.L. Strickland
Naomi
When my event planner created a profile for me on the Holidates app so I didn’t have to attend the National Book Lovers Day event at my romance bookstore alone, I thought she was crazy. That was before I connected with Vaughn. He’s a tattooed chef with a dirty mouth and the skills to back it up. He’s exactly what I didn’t know I needed. But since we only agreed to one night with no strings, I snuck out while he was asleep. He’s been persistently messaging me for weeks, but I’ve left them unanswered. I don’t know why he’d want to see a frumpy bookworm like me again.
When I find out our night together created more than sparks between us, I have no choice but to respond to his offer of a second date. I’m just afraid that when he finds out I’m carrying his baby, I’ll never see him again.
Vaughn
I’ve used the Holidates app for years and never met a woman worth asking for a second date. That was before I met Naomi. She’s witty, endearing, and her perfect curves have me longing to hold her forever. I thought I’d done enough to convince her I wanted more than the one night we’d agreed to. Even though she ghosted me after that amazing night, I refuse to give up.
When she finally agrees to a second date, I’m desperate to show her I’m not the womanizer I’ve made myself out to be. But she’s holding onto a secret that will rock our worlds even harder than the first night we spent together.
