When a group of middle aged women realize they've become socially invisible, they band together as a FIGHT CLUB style secret order. They aren't trying to regain their visibility - why would you get rid of a frickin' super power? Their hijinks start as goofy pranks, but quickly escalate, transforming them into vigilantes who mete out justice for other invisibles. But when one woman kills another's vilified husband, the group is bound together by their secret, and nobody wants to go back to playing by the old rules. They'll probably get away with it, because no one suspects four suburban moms in a Volvo.

Winner of Michelle Jo Quinn's Just Pitch It contest and a featured story in the Hearts on Sleeves Valentine's Anthology. Romance was so 2010! Ever since her husband left, Josie prefers to think of Valentine's Day as a kid's holiday and nothing more. Finally happy on her own, she's perfectly content to spend the day doling out heart-shaped cookies at her son's preschool. When she learns she'll be paired with another parent during the school party, a candy shop owner named Brook, Josie figures she'll spend the time chatting about life as working mothers. Much to her surprise, working mother Brook is actually hot, single dad Brook. Could this holiday hold promise of something sweet for Josie after all?
