Citation for Sparkle: A Tinsel Town Valentine (Hearts & Hazards #1)
Marc Fist
Hugh Everhart builds Valentine’s magic for a living.
Not metaphorical magic. Actual magic. The kind made of heart-shaped lights, garlands, glitter, and sheer stubbornness. The kind that turns a dying little town square into something people come back to.
So when a state vehicle rolls into Lover’s Lane and a building inspector steps out looking like he was personally invented by the concept of compliance, Hugh knows two things immediately:
This man is here to ruin everything.
Hugh is going to ruin him first.
Felix Stone is tall, precise, and terrifyingly calm. His suit is pressed. His clipboard is lethal. His expression says I have never experienced joy and I intend to keep it that way.
He starts citing violations.
Hugh starts pushing back.
And somewhere between the arguing, the inspections, and the slow, impossible realization that Felix isn’t just strict… he’s scared… the line between enemy and obsession begins to blur.
Because Felix doesn’t just want the town to be safe.
He wants to be safe.
And Hugh is the kind of man who makes a mess on purpose.
Especially when the mess is a man who looks at him like he’s a structural hazard.
HEARTS & HAZARDS is a high-heat MM small-town romance full of grumpy/sunshine tension, enemies-to-lovers escalation, forced proximity, competence kink, and a Valentine’s festival worth breaking the rules for.
