Love Is Hell: A Valentine's Story, Book 1 — Edith DuBois

Chocolate, roses, creme brulee, and vandalism! In this Male Order Valentine's story, Emilie, Gavin, and Grayson Stephens prepare for an elegant evening on the town. Dreaming up and arranging his scheme months in advance, Gavin has everything meticulously laid out -- the perfect babysitter for the kids, the perfect dinner at Tosca Ristorante, and the perfect intimate finale. But when a graffiti bandit strikes, disrupting not only their family but the whole neighborhood, his romantic evening begins to crumble. What's more, Emilie and Grayson don't seem bothered by the turn of events, and the cracks in Gavin's composure grow wider. Soon latent resentments and fears rise to the surface, and the trio must face difficult questions about themselves and about each other. As events escalate uncontrollably, will the spirit of love guide them closer? Or will more than their Valentine's Day plans fall apart? Note: There is no sexual relationship or touching for titillation between or among siblings. Note: This romantic trio was first introduced in A Bride for Two Babes [The Male Order Collection]. Each Love Is Hell book ends with an HEA for its main characters, although the two books share an external story arc.
