She was waiting for her blind date. Then fate interfered.
Ford
I didn't even want to be at this Halloween party. But I agreed to one drink to keep my teammates happy.
Then I see her. She’s wrapped up in the perfect package; a vision in her mummy costume, with a laugh that makes the crowded club fade away.
The best part? She doesn’t know who I am. And for once, I want to keep it that way.
Except when the truth about my hockey career reveals itself, everything changes. Now, I’m willing to do whatever it takes to prove that even though I’m the wrong date, I’m the right guy.
Willa
I came out tonight because my friends set me up. Instead, I found him.
He’s charming, quick-witted, and way too handsome for his own good. A bit of adventure in my otherwise quiet, history-filled world.
He draws me in instantly, yet I’m not sure if it’s the man I’m falling for or the mystery he represents.
When I learn the truth about who he really is, I start to wonder if our connection was real at all, or if it still could be.
Wrong Date, Right Guy is a 14K word hockey romance novelette, originally published in a charity anthology called Hockey Halloween. It’s a story about instalove and undeniable chemistry where most events take place within twelve hours. Due to its mature content and open-door romance, Wrong Date, Right Guy is unsuitable for younger audience.

The perfect little Halloween novella!!! I love Kiira’s writing and the characters she’s created. Willa and Ford were honestly so perfect. I always thought I didn’t like insta love…but every single time it just hits SO GOOD! And the Halloween party and the costumes and them going to the museum! And then bonding over their love of history! It was so so perfect!
If there’s one thing about me is that I love a MN reference!!!! Both Ford and Willa are from MN which means this is an automatic LOVE for me 😂 I truly am a simple girl! And I of course knew Kiira has a fictional MN hockey team in her universe! But I still get excited every time!
4 🌟 Spice: open door, but mild Format: ebook (novella)
Super cute! I loved how The Mummy was tied in. These two nerdy people had excellent chemistry. This was just long enough. I loved that instead of having them saying I love you after one night she just played on how they felt strongly for one another. I know instalove is common in novellas, but sometimes it's too fast. This takes place on Halloween, but it can definitely be read whenever.
