The Cupid Loophole: A Tinsel Town Valentine (Hearts & Hazards #3)
Marc Fist
The second-worst part is that Hugh Everhart is starting to like it.
Because Felix doesn’t just show up in Tinsel Town with a clipboard and a death wish for joy. He shows up with something Hugh didn’t standards. Real ones. The kind that keep people safe. The kind Hugh has been improvising around for years because the festival has always survived on charm, tradition, and sheer force of will.
But this year?
This year the town council is watching.
And when Hugh files for a Cultural Heritage Exemption to keep the Valentine’s festival alive, the hearing turns into a battlefield.
Felix stands at the front of the room in black like he’s attending the funeral of fun, and Hugh is suddenly, painfully aware of what it means to have a man like that on your side.
Until Margaret Winters walks in.
She doesn’t challenge the festival.
She challenges Felix.
She questions his judgment. His neutrality. His interpretation of the code.
She suggests what Hugh has been trying not to admit to
That Felix might already be compromised.
And Hugh can handle a permit fight.
He can handle a rival.
What he doesn’t know how to handle is the possibility that Felix Stone, the strictest man Hugh has ever met… might be risking everything for him.
HEARTS & HAZARDS is a high-heat MM small-town romance full of enemies-to-lovers tension, public scrutiny, forced proximity, competence kink, and the delicious terror of falling for the one person who was supposed to shut you down.
