They couldn't be more different, but wild-at-heart (and in bed) Rose and sweet-but-square Tyler have to make it through a romantic Valentine's weekend to win the prize at the end - all while proving they're certainly, definitely,really not the perfect match the dating app proclaims them to be... right? Rose I went to my bestie’s over-the-top Valentine’s Day event alone, and when the first person I meet is straight-laced Tyler, I know I’m leaving alone, too. He’s all buttoned-up with nary a tattoo in sight, and he does math…for fun. In other words, definitely not my type. But when a dating app proclaims him my Perfect Match and offers up a pot of prize money if we spend a romantic weekend together, complete with an all-expenses paid luxury hotel and couples activities galore, I don’t need love as a motivator–that money will help save my fledgling, and failing, graphic design business. Now Tyler is looking at me like I’m the perfect box of chocolates, talking about indulging in one last fling before he settles down. Suddenly, I’m thinking Mr. All-Wrong-For-Me might be the perfect Mr. Right-Now. ​ Tyler I went to a Valentine’s Day singles’ event looking for love and left with Rose, whose vivacious attitude and sunset-hued hair sets her apart from every woman I’ve ever dated. Even if her curvy body stirs up a wilder side in me I’ve always kept under wraps, she’s definitely not what I’m looking for in a long-term partner… or so I thought. But somewhere between hiking with goats, getting our nails painted, and Rose’s lessons on new and inventive ways to share our heart-shaped bed, I’m wondering if she might be just what I never knew I always needed. But when she’s determined to part when our wild weekend is done, how can I convince her we might be a perfect match after all?

When an approaching snowstorm sends the crew home, it’s up to Nick and Holly to save her movie, and they agree to indulge for just one night.

He’s a skeptic. She's a believer. Three nights in a haunted house will change their lives forever. Alice Calderon loves being scared. Raised on ghost stories by her grandmother, she craves the tingle that comes with a good fright. But her adult life is a gray-scale repetition of her tedious, over-demanding job and non-existent personal life, so when Alice is invited to spend three nights at The Hathaway House—the haunted house she’s been obsessed with her whole life—she knows it’s just the thrill she needs. Her weekend gets even more exciting when she meets a mysterious vampire at the opening night costume party. He’s hot, charming, and ready to help her play out some of her darker fantasies. Dominic Costa hates the dark, and anything that lurks in the shadows. He travels the world writing, never settling long enough to reckon with his own demons or face his loneliness. When the opportunity arises to write an expose about the infamous Hathaway House, he knows it’s his chance to see for himself that there are no such things as ghosts, including Ruby Hathaway, who’s said to be haunting the mansion since she died there in a fire a century ago. And although Dominic is on assignment, there may be some time to play--especially with the shimmering butterfly of a woman he can’t tear his eyes, or hands, away from. But when a balcony tryst is interrupted by a fire in the library, their masks come off to reveal Dominic and Alice are’t strangers at all. As the two reignite an old connection, Ruby is determined to make them notice her at any cost, even if it means doing some igniting of her own. It's not clear what exactly Ruby wants from them, but one thing is three nights in Hathaway House will change their lives forever.

A free Santa, Baby epilogue, in which Nick & Holly find themselves back at an old familiar place, where they create new steamy memories.
