“Teens will likely race through Hepler’s heartwarming, sweet-as-a-candy-heart novel.”—Booklist
“Hepler pens an energetic Valentine’s Day tale for romantics and cynics alike.”—Publishers Weekly
The greatest risk can bring the sweetest reward . . .
Just because Piper’s birthday is on Valentine’s Day does not mean she’s a romantic. In fact, if her mother’s series of failed relationships has taught her anything, it’s to stay away from love at all costs. So when her best friends start hyping the “Hallmark” holiday, she stubbornly refuses to make plans and has other ideas of working at the chocolate shop instead. That is until Ben Donovan, the most popular guy in school, asks her out. Still, Piper can’t shake the feeling that something’s not quite right. Only when she opens her heart will she discover that true love really does exist, and that she might be Cupid’s next target . . .
