Daisy Murray had Valentine's Day planned: couch, remote, a stack of rom-coms. Then an earthquake hits, and she ends up locked inside a bakery with the one man she has never been able to figure out. He owns the place, he bakes everything in it, and every time she has smiled at him, he has scowled back. Now they are stuck together with nowhere to go and no timeline for when that changes. The disaster strips away the easy excuses they both had for keeping their distance. Daisy has to reckon with the fact that rude and handsome is a difficult combination to ignore in a small space that smells like sugar and butter. What starts as an inconvenience becomes something neither of them planned for. Jasmine Guillory, the New York Times bestselling author of Drunk on Love, keeps this one tight and fast, built for a single sitting. Drop, Cover, and Hold On is part of The Improbable Meet-Cute series, a collection of short romantic stories about love arriving at the worst possible moment.
