Valentine's Day changes things. Sometimes quietly. Sometimes all at once. In this contemporary romance collection, four love stories unfold under pressure expectations, pride, timing, and want.

A driven woman never expected a billionaire's attention to feel this unsettling, or this real. His private jet waits on the tarmac. Her phone buzzes with missed calls. When ambition rubs against vulnerability, she has to decide whether love can lift her up or if the fall is unavoidable.

Two fierce rivals are shoved together when a storm cuts the power and traps them close. Wet coats on the chair. Thunder rattling the windows. Competition melts into heat, resentment slips into attraction, and feelings they buried claw back up. Giving in might cost more than either can afford.

Old wounds flare when former lovers collide again. Time reshaped them, but the hurt never cooled. Words land sharp. Silences sting. Somewhere between the chill and the pull, forgiveness waits or everything finally breaks.

Then there's the fake Valentine setup meant to stay easy and temporary. No feelings. No mess. Pretending works fine until it doesn't. Want creeps in, lines blur, and the truth threatens everything they were trying to keep safe.

Each story lives in that fragile moment when attraction turns risky, when desire asks for nerve, and love wants more than talk.

On Valentine's Day, where will the arrow land?
