Venetian Valentine: My Bloody Valentine

By Kristian Parker

FROM EXCITING AUTHOR OF LGBT+ ROMANCE KRISTIAN PARKER

A My Bloody Valentine story

Venice at Valentine's? Andrew didn't bargain on outrunning the Mafia, fighting for his life...or meeting Sergio.

Post break-up Andrew, in Venice for Valentine's Day, isn't alone and pining for very long before handsome local Sergio sweeps him off his feet—and into his gondola.

What should have been the most romantic evening of Andrew's life turns into the deadliest when a dying policewoman they rush to help slips them a vital piece of evidence...and they're accused of shooting her.

With both the Mafia and corrupt cops in hot pursuit, Andrew and Sergio must deliver the evidence to the only man who can clear their name. The only problem is he lives at the other end of Italy, which sends them on the most action-packed Valentine's date ever.

It's going to take some serious Valentine's magic for the shy Englishman and the sexy gondolier to have a second date, never mind a chance at a relationship...

I have written for as long as I could write. In fact, before, when I would dictate to my auntie. I love to read, and I love to create worlds and characters. I live in the English countryside. When I’m not writing, I like to get out there and think through the next scenario I’m going to throw my characters into. Inspiration can be found anywhere, on a train, in a restaurant or in an office. I am always in search of the next character to find love in one of my stories. In a world of apps and online dating, it is important to remember love can be found when you least expect it.
