Valentine's Day Blues: A Little Bit Cupid

By J.P. Bowie

FROM POPULAR AUTHOR OF GAY ROMANCE, J.P. BOWIE

From the A Little Bit Cupid collection

What does it take for Valentine's-Day-hating Bryan Colby to discover that he really loves it? Meeting Officer Ben Collins, of course.

Bryan Colby doesn't like Valentine's Day. Despite being told by his close friends that he's silly to fester over something that happened five years ago, he just can't get excited as yet another Valentine's Day approaches.

Bryan, a rising star at the local real estate office, prefers to work instead, but is assaulted while showing a vacant property. In the ambulance, he meets Officer Ben Collins and Bryan wastes no time in letting Ben know he finds him attractive and would like to get better acquainted with him, in every possible way.

At first wary of Bryan's flirty, come-hither attitude, Ben eventually warms to Bryan's charm, and agrees to meet him for a coffee. But circumstances outside their control change that date to a much more sensual meeting.

After all, it is Valentine's Day week, and romance is most definitely in the air...

J.P. Bowie: I was born and raised in Scotland. Moved to London and worked in several West End shows before immigrating to the United States. First port of call was Las Vegas where I worked backstage with the Siegfried and Roy Show at the Mirage Hotel as Head of Wardrobe for the legendary stars. Another move more recently took me and my husband Phil to San Diego where we intend to stay! Love sunny San Diego.
