Short Stories/Novellas

Liza Parker has a fear of heights, crowds and small spaces. So what’s a girl like her doing on a crowded elevator going to the top of the Empire State Building? Freaking out, that’s what she’s doing. Enter Jay Sanders, a tourist who thinks he might be able to help Liza face her fears, but she has to be willing to spend the day with a complete stranger. Maybe taking a chance on Jay is just what Liza needs

Can a love potion help her find real love—or just make her see what’s been there all along? Ally Hawkins has never had a Valentine’s Day date—but this is her year. She can feel it in her endlessly optimistic heart. So when she stumbles upon a love potion at a county fair, she figures… why not? It’s silly, it’s smelly, and she’s a grown woman. But then—bam—the very guy she’s been crushing on asks her to lunch. Coincidence? She thinks not. But while Ally’s busy swooning, her office BFF Josh Wise starts acting weird. Distant. Not his usual flirty, funny, charming self. And Ally realizes she might miss him more than she expected. Maybe the potion isn’t magic at all, maybe it’s just opening her eyes. Now she’ll have to figure out what (or who ) she really wants… before the spell wears off for good. **Please note, this novella was originally part of the Love in the City box set.**
