How do you surprise a man with a milestone birthday party when he’s the king of surprises himself? 

You distract him with a little help from Mother Nature, in the form of a blizzard...and plenty of sex. 

Barrett: Jake's birthday is in a few days, and I'm nervous that what I've planned for his big day can’t possibly measure up to what he’d done for me. The weekend of my 40th blew my mind, and the after-party ended up changing our lives forever. Now it's my turn to rock his world, and I'm starting to have my doubts. Worst part? We're stuck in Boston riding out the storm of the century, and I can't finalize the details to his party. 

Jake: I managed to shock the pants off of Barrett - quite literally - with his 40th birthday celebration, and now I intend to do the same with our first Valentine's Day together as a couple. What I have planned is cheesy as hell, but I also know Barrett will be stunned by all the romance I've stuffed into this little holiday. The problem? I'm stuck on the opposite coast in the middle of a snowstorm and might not make it home in time to facilitate my plans. 

Cupid shot us both in the ass years ago, and now it's time to “put a ring on it”, as they say, and make this real. 

The Illicit Heat series is a collection of short, erotic stories. Each title will be under 25,000 words and can be listened to as a stand-alone and all have a HEA ending. Although Snowballs for My Valentine can be listened to as a stand-alone, the author recommends that you listen to book three, Billionaire's Toy, first.
