When two extraordinary events occur on the same day, you’ve just got to celebrate!
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY, kids! I hope you and your significant other enjoy the day. And if you’re celebrating Galentine’s Day – power to you, and have a blast with your gal friends!!!
Part 2 of this lovely day – and the part I love best(!) – is that it is rerelease day for 3 WISHES, the San Valentino Family Romance that started it all for my favorite Italian Family.
If you’re looking for a book about love to read on this day devoted to love, here ya go! 3 WISHES is just for you!
Valentine’s Day is chocolatier Chloe San Valentino’s favorite day of the year. Not only is it the busiest day in her candy shop, Caramelle de Chloe, but it’s also her birthday.
Chloe’s got a birthday wish list for the perfect man she pulls out every year: he’d fall in love with her in a heartbeat, he’d be someone who cares about people, and he’d have one blue eye and one green eye, just like her. So far, Chloe’s fantasy man hasn’t materialized, despite the matchmaking efforts of her big, close-knit Italian family.
But this year, for her 30th birthday, she just might get her 3 Wishes.
Just a quick reminder, kids, that I’ll be appearing at the new romance-only themed book store LOVESTRUCK BOOKS AND CAFE today in Cambridge, MA, from 2-4pm, along with three other romance authors, C.W Rose, Cecilia Tan, and Kim Swizz.
LOVESTRUCK is the only romance-themed book store in the area, and since its opening last month, it has hit the area by storm!
Come on down if you are in the area today and meet us, buy some books, talk all things romance book-related, enjoy the store, and have a cup of hot cocoa and some of the baked goodies available.
Admittance is free, but the store would like to know if you are coming so they can have a head count. You can RSVP here: EVENTBRITE
This event is free but we ask you to RSVP on eventbrite to attend.
ABOUT PEGGY JAEGER
Peggy Jaeger writes contemporary romances and rom coms about strong women, the families who support them, and the men who can’t live without them. Her stories make you believe in happily ever afters.
Family and food play huge roles in Peggy’s stories because she believes there is nothing that holds a family structure together like sharing a meal…or two…or ten. Dotted with humor and characters that are as real as they are loving, Peggy brings all aspects of life into her stories: life, death, sibling rivalry, illness, and the desire for everyone to find their own happily ever after. Growing up the only child of divorced parents she longed for sisters, brothers and a family that vowed to stick together no matter what came their way. Through her books, she has created the families she wanted as that lonely child. You can visit her blog at peggyjaeger.com.
ABOUT C.W. ROSE
C.W. Rose is a Fantasy and Romance author who writes about ordinary Asian women in extraordinary situations, and find themselves, and sometimes—okay, usually—love along the way, and the cinnamon roll (not always human) men who adore them. She is also a certified scuba diver and lifeguard with a deep love for the world and animals around us, though she hasn’t spotted any mermaids yet. Outside of writing, you can find her buried in a great book, learning to sing in different languages, and finding any excuse to spend time outdoors. She’s also a third culture kid who grew up in Singapore, and currently lives in New York City with her family, working as a Physical Therapist.

ABOUT KIM SWIZZ
After nearly half a decade of practicing law, Kim Swizz is now a recovering attorney, living her best life writing small-town romance. Kim has always had a passion for creative writing but has never published a novel (unless you count the book she wrote and had bound in first grade, a titillating story entitled “The Cat is Eating”) — until now. She is excited to leave behind the days of drafting contracts and start this new chapter.
A forever Jersey girl turned former Arizona resident, Kim now calls Boston home with her husband, though they love to travel together.
Kim is never without her emotional support Kindle. When she is not writing spicy scenes or making her readers cry, you can find her crocheting tiny things, knitting, embroidering, cross-stitching, bullet journaling — you get the point.

In one month, on Valentine’s Day, 3 WISHES re-releases and I thought I’d give you a little taste of this romcom, mistaken identity and medical-themed romance today.
Did I mention I’m a chocolatier? My shop is called Caramelle di Chloe, roughly translated as Chloe’s Candy. In addition to my retail business, I cater all sorts of events from bachelorette parties, complete with naughty, anatomically correct chocolates, baby showers, anniversaries, and even weddings. I’ve been written up twice in national newspaper reviews and my business is a solid, financially successful one. Recently I’d begun to dream of expanding.
“Dio mio, Chloe. This is insane.” My sister’s beautiful blue eyes rolled back in her head as she licked her lips and savored the candy-cookie. “This is gonna be a major seller.”
I smiled, pleased. I’d thought so, too, but it was nice hearing it from someone else.
“So, are you going to tell Daddy about his clothes?” she asked, reaching for another sample.
“Not in this lifetime.” The chocolate was perfect, so I turned off the stovetop flame and dumped the gooey confection onto the marble countertop. I had to get ready for Valentine’s Day, a mere week away. While I smoothed the warm caramel from one end of the marble to the other and began rolling it between my gloved fingers into bite-sized nibbles of deliciousness, I told Snoop, whose real name is Gia, about the box mom had left for me.
“She gave me one, too.” Gia licked her fingers. “It was filled with stuff I don’t even remember owning.”
I mentioned the diaries and the candy sweethearts in mine.
“Those are still your favorite.” Gia grinned. “You work with the most delicious ingredient on the planet and you still love those little candies best.”
“I know.” Every year I featured candy hearts in some of my Valentine’s Day offerings. I’d decorate cakes and cupcakes with them, fill bags tied with pink or red ribbons with them, add them to lollipop sticks, anything I could think of.
…So a romance about a chocolatier on Valentine’s Day. Sound good? Lol
You can preorder it here, and it will be in KU for 90 days after release day, then I’m going wide with it.
