About this ebook
She was being a good friend.
Shira Abramson wanted to grab a coffee with her BFF, Keren, but when Keren couldn't make it, she agreed to fill that time slot with someone from the dating app her friend helped to develop. She was game. A dating blogger dates, so why not?
He was being a good CEO.
Aaron Sanders was proud of his team for the job they did on Immedia-Date. Still, what kind of startup CEO doesn't test their product themselves? A simple plan turned into the date of his life.
Being together might just be their Hanukkah miracle.
Neither come clean about their occupations for #reasons, but eight dates leave them falling hard. Will the truth destroy what they feel, or will their light burn longer than they could have ever predicted?
This story was previously published in the anthology, Eight Kisses.

Frisky Connections - Michelle Mars
Chapter One
Really. It’s fine, honey. You couldn’t have predicted a bird bombing as soon as you stepped out of the house. I’d turn right around and need a shower too.
Shira Abramson spoke into her phone, tempering her disappointment and comforting her friend Keren Sabinski once again.
As her friend apologized for the hundredth time, she returned, "I know you’d come if you could. We both knew this was going to have to be a quick get together as it was."
Keren finally said, I know. I know. It’s just that I was so fucking excited to see you. It’s been too long. I feel sooo bad. And instead of girl chat, I get to remove bird shit from my hair. Ew.
I think I come out just fine compared to you, so don’t worry even for a second. I’ll just grab a quick coffee and get some work done. No biggie.
Actually, if you still plan to grab a coffee, might I suggest you try out my company’s new app?
Which app?
Immedia-Date.
The dating app you described to me last month?
"Yep. The very one. It’s just come out this week and we’ve already had a ton of people sign up. Give it a try. Maybe you’ll meet Mr. Right today and shitting birds will have a silver lining. It would be good for your blog and you can provide me with feedback."
You’re such a yenta.
I’ll wear that matchmaking badge with pride, thank you very much. Yenta heart. Business brain. Now give it a go, and I’m going to wash my hair a million times over and then head to my meeting.
Fine. If I end up dead in a ditch somewhere, I’ll know who to blame.
Shira grumbled.
Enjoy. Avoid the ditch. Text your bitch. That sounded a lot better in my head than out loud. You know what I mean, though. Text me when you’re done. Bye.
With that, the line went dead.
What had she just agreed to? Shira opened up the app store and searched for Immedia-Date. She located it and had it downloaded quickly. She was impressed right away with the ease of setting it up. The streamlined process was a snap. Answer a few simple questions and it created a basic profile with what you were looking for. Tall, dark, Jewish a bonus, and handsome a desire. The app prompted that all she needed to do now, was turn her profile to ‘currently available’ and it would search her vicinity for any available matches interested in a short pop-up date. So she did just that. Easy peasy.
Her phone dinged almost right away, making her jump. Someone was available and interested in meeting up with her. Well, that was fast.
She opened the app back up, clicked on the profile of the interested party, and had to blink a few times. This had to be a scam. No one joined a dating app and got one of the hottest guys she’d ever seen in the first couple of minutes. She bet it was someone catfishing with a fake picture, but that could be resolved quickly when they met, so she clicked Interested.
The app took a minute to search the area between them for a highly rated coffee shop or café within a short distance.
Her phone dinged again with the address to the shop. Shira figured she would at least discover a new place to get her caffeine fix out of this ill-advised adventure into modern dating. Coffee was life, after all. She pulled out of the parking lot where she had meant to meet Keren and headed to her Immedia-Date with some trepidation laced with excitement.
She arrived a few minutes later at her destination and
