Cupid Undercover (Northburyport Book 2)

She is the socially awkward tech nerd who is unlucky in love. He is the too-good-looking man-in-charge with something to prove. Together they’ll make it a Valentine’s Day to remember.

Valerie Seabrook’s longest relationship has been with her job. As the Chief Information Officer of her family’s company, she is more comfortable with computers and writing code than she is with socializing or human relationships. She has yet to find a man who wants her for her instead of what advantages her name or her position in the company can give him. When she is tasked with going undercover in the hospitality division of her family’s company to develop a matchmaking app for the first annual Cupid Ball, she has no idea what value she can bring to the position. Sure, she can program an app in her sleep but matchmaking? She doesn’t date and is the last person in the whole company who knows anything about what makes one person suitable for another… Until she meets her co-worker in this undercover assignment and has her first brush with love at first sight. Being undercover, he has no idea who she really is and for the first time she has the chance for a man to get to know the real her, not the woman with the advantages and baggage that come with her name.

Conor O’Shea becomes the manager at the Seabrook-Northburyport Inn after a disastrous relationship with his former boss’s daughter, fired after being accused of riding her coattails to get ahead. Trying to rebuild his reputation after the scandalous fallout from their breakup, he puts all his stakes on creating an annual event that will change the way hotels view Valentine’s Day and all its potential. He has everything handled except the one thing that will make his brainchild, the Cupid Ball, stand out—the matchmaking app that will attract singles as well as couples to come to the inn for dinner and dancing on Valentine’s Day. When he meets the socially awkward tech specialist sent from the corporate office, Conor is dubious they will pull it off. With his fate tied to the app’s success, he has no choice but to work closely with this woman if he wants to rehabilitate his image and rebuild his professional reputation on his own merits.

Turns out, the awkward tech nerd is unlike any woman he has ever met and the longer they work together the deeper he falls for her. When he discovers the truth about her identity, will he cut his losses and leave or will Cupid prevail and give them each the love they deserve?

Check out this next sweet, cozy, no-spice romance in the Northburyport series, where friends feel like family and this small town feels like home.
