Little Lies & Valentines

Abby is rebuilding her life after an abusive relationship, finding steadiness in the daily rhythm of the coffee shop where she works. When an unknown admirer begins leaving her love letters, she is wary at first, but the attention slowly helps her rediscover her own confidence — and she starts writing back.

At the same time, a charming regular customer named Alex begins showing real interest in her, and Abby finds herself drawn to him even as the letters keep coming. What she doesn't know is that Alex is keeping a significant secret of his own, one that puts her fragile sense of safety in question.

Little Lies & Valentines is a dark stalker romance novella and the first standalone entry in Lashell Rain's Dark Holiday series, a set of holiday-themed dark romances that can each be read independently.
