The Valentine's Date
(2026)(The first book in the Short Reads Psychological Thriller series)
A Story by Lorna Dounaeva
A twisted short psychological thriller from the author of The Perfect Daughter and The Wife’s Mistake
He’s looking for romance, but she has other plans…
‘Happy Valentine's,’ I say, clinking my glass against Red's. I gaze into her beautiful dark green eyes and wonder how I ever got this lucky.
I've had a crush on this woman for weeks, but I never thought she'd agree to go out with me. In fact, I’m still amazed I plucked up the courage to ask her out. And yet, here we are, seated across from each other in a candlelit restaurant. A band plays softly in the corner, and she looks absolutely stunning in her form-fitting outfit. Dressed to kill, you might say.
So you can imagine my surprise when she reveals that she actually hates Valentine’s Day. And as she tops up my glass, I begin to realise that this night isn’t going to go quite the way I planned. In fact, I’m starting to suspect she has something else entirely in mind.
You will devour this dark psychological thriller about love, regret and long-awaited revenge.
