My Viral Valentine

Abby’s big break-up just went viral. When Abby Boyko agrees to go on a morning TV show as part of a Valentine’s Day special, she’s in for a big surprise. Instead of promoting their new phone app, her business partner—and boyfriend—breaks up with her on live TV. Then the video goes viral. Now Abby’s lost her relationship, her fledgling business, and her self-esteem. Still reeling from the humiliation, Abby would prefer to stay swaddled in her cozy colourful apartment with her rescue cat, Oscar—but determined to develop a competing app, she arranges a meeting with tech genius, Mason Harrington. From the moment he saw Abby's video, Mason's gentle heart was filled with sympathy for her. He can't believe he's getting a chance to actually help her. Unfortunately, his nervous awkwardness makes their first encounter a complete disaster when he accidentally makes her cry, insults her business idea, and harasses her. But what Mason lacks in suaveness, he makes up for in determination. He's going to apologize and make things right. Can he be the knight in wrinkled Dockers who helps Abby heal her broken heart? My Viral Valentine is the first book in the Holiday Hat Trick trilogy. These romcoms feature three close girlfriends, crazy hijinks in the pursuit of love, and beer league hockey—all set in the wintry capital city of Ottawa. Each story is set around a holiday.

Em needs a horrible fake boyfriend. For Em Davis, planner extraordinaire, life should run as smoothly as her economic forecasts. She’s got a checklist for the perfect boyfriend, and now she’s met Thomas, who ticks off all the boxes. The only problem is her parents keep rejecting her new men. But she has a solution: she’ll bring home someone so offensive that Thomas will shine in comparison. Ian Reid is the perfect man for this role. He’s a foul-mouthed jerk who insults her each time they meet. How hard could it be to spend a few days over Christmas with a sexist lunkhead to teach her picky parents to quit interfering with her love life?

It’s officially the worst Hallowe’en ever. First, Sophia Ando gets a demotion at her big law firm. Then she discovers her boyfriend making out with another woman at a Hallowe’en party. The cherry on top of her evening is when her rideshare is driven by Henry MacDonald—her childhood friend and secret crush. Dejected and dressed as a goofy anime character was not how she wanted to look when she saw Henry again. Henry MacDonald isn’t thrilled to see Sophia either. He’s just quit the indie rock band he spent the last decade with. He’s turning thirty, has zero career prospects, and worst of all—he’s lost the spark that inspired his music. Being her chauffeur won’t impress the most accomplished person he knows—even if she’s dressed as a rain-soaked Pikachu. As a distraction from her disastrous life, Sophia decides to make Henry her next project: helping him find work, a recreational hockey team, and even a girlfriend. The only problem is that Henry prefers the matchmaker to the matches. “Peopled with characters who feel so real, and who are so likeable, this book is a lovely slice of life.” Rosanna Leo, award-winning author of The Handymen series “My Hallowe'en Heartbreak is a fabulous romance novel packed with Canadian culture and kooky comedy!” Briar’s Reviews A sexy rockstar hero. A buttoned-down lawyer. A steamy high school reunion. If this sounds like your catnip, check out My Hallowe’en Heartbreak. While it's part of the Holiday Hat Trick trilogy, it can be read as a freestanding book.

"Totally impossible!" she insisted. But maybe…kind of fun? Somehow, she found herself agreeing to the wacky scheme. Now, not only was she landing the account, she was landing the man! But what would happen when Christopher discovered he was snuggled between the sheets with the wrong Theresa?
