Twenty-three second graders were on a mission!

Her students were convinced Jane Kitto needed a man in her life. A 'real man'—not the Secret Admirer who had, every Valentine's Day for years, sent her a tiny charm. Jane appreciated their enthusiasm, but not their choice. Football star Zack Stoner was the last man on earth she'd fall for. Handsome as sin, tough as nails, and more appealing than she wanted to admit, Zack made Jane want things she never imagined wanting–with him.Zack Stoner had never forgotten Jane. When they were younger, he'd been confused, unnerved and fascinated by the sweet and generous Jane. It wasn't all that different now, except he was a man, and knew he wanted her. But would Jane take a chance with someone like him?

Twenty-three cupids said yes.
