Sparkling Valentine

Workplace Romcom with Not-so-Uptight Flannel-clad Boss and Matchmaking Cats

A forced proximity workplace romance where your boss ends up in the room next door… for an entire month.

I don't do surprises. I do spreadsheets, backup plans, and color-coded calendars that account for every possible disaster. My apartment flooding? Inconvenient but manageable. Relocating to a remote mountain town? Annoying but survivable.
So imagine my surprise when I flee to a Valentine's themed B&B and find Clayton Harper waiting in the lobby. Wearing flannel. Holding cocoa. Looking like he walked out of a cozy boyfriend Pinterest board.
Turns out his sister owns the inn. And there's exactly one room left. Right next to his.
For a month.
I'm a remote software engineer. I'm here for the fiber internet and zero human interaction. I am NOT here to discover that my grumpy email boss is actually warm, funny, and devastatingly kind in person.
But Cupid Corner has other plans. Now we're building an app together for the town's Valentine's light show, and somewhere between debugging code and walking through snow-dusted streets, the professional boundaries I've carefully maintained are starting to feel a lot like walls I don't want anymore.
He's still my boss. This is still temporary. And I definitely, absolutely, one-hundred-percent am not falling for him.

Expect a cinnamon roll hero in flannel, meddling small-town matchmakers, witty banter, cozy spice, and a slow-burn workplace romance with a guaranteed happily ever after.
