About this listen

Roses are red, violets are blue, Emma’s not dead, and her gravedigger’s hot too. This Valentine’s Day, love claws its way out of the grave in #1 New York Times bestselling author Navessa Allen’s steamy and hilariously dark rom-com.

Louisiana gravedigger Noah Evans’s Valentine’s night shift takes an unexpected turn when his high school crush starts screaming from her freshly dug grave. Whoever tried to bury Emma six feet under is in for a nasty surprise—they should have checked for a pulse because she’s got unfinished business, starting with the hot gravedigger who just saved her life. As they unearth a deadly family conspiracy, Noah and Emma discover that old flames burn even hotter the second time around—especially when someone’s trying to kill them.

Navessa Allen’s Valentine’s Slay is part of The Improbable Meet-Cute: Second Chances, stories for star-crossed lovers and hopeless romantics. They can be read or listened to in one sitting. Let’s do it again.

Valentine's Slay by Navessa Allen

What a brilliant little novella for the meet cute series on Amazon/Audible.

I loved Noah, and how much he cared for Emma from the first moment. We love an upgrade and Noah is that in abundance, but let's be honest, even a street rat would have been an upgrade from Beau 😂

This was a great, easy read/listen to kick off February!

Fab little novella

What a great take for a meet cute. Definitely not something that would normally happen. The way he kept her calm and took care of her and then discovering the story of just how evil her husband was had me fuming.
The spice was great too! Fab read.

Loved this so much.
