February Sugar

By K.L. Noone

Wesley Kim wants to give his boyfriend a perfect Valentine’s Day. He wants it to be better than Finn could ever imagine. And that’s a lot to live up to, since Finn Ransom’s a genuine movie star. Even worse, everything’s going wrong.

Wes has a prestigious scholarly conference on Valentine’s weekend and he’s supposed to give the keynote talk. He’s brought Finn along but hasn’t had much spare time. The rain won’t let up. And Finn’s legs still hurt from old injuries, in cold damp weather.

Wes is afraid he’s made their Valentine’s Day a disaster, but Finn might have a plan to make it perfectly sweet after all.
