Second Place by Diana Xarissa

Jennifer Hardwick loves everything about Ramsey, New York, the small town to which she recently moved. Divorced, with grown children, she’s happy on her own in a little house near the high school where she teaches math.
Her new friends at the school talk her into taking part in the town’s “Romance Roundup,” a speed-dating event that’s part of the Ramsey Valentine’s Faire. She’s just happy that Seth Pierce, a man she met the night before the Roundup, is going to be there. He’s very nice and he’ll be good company, even if the rest of the night is a waste of time.
To her surprise, she meets a man with whom she has instant chemistry. Brian Lewis is handsome, smart, and something of a workaholic. He leaves town almost immediately for a work conference, and Jennifer finds herself spending more and more time with Seth.
When she needs a date for her ex-husband’s wedding, can Brian find the time to go with her, or should she take Seth, the man she put in second place on the night of the Roundup?
