Burned out and divorced from her own ambition, Cassie Doyle signs a Heartland Haven contract and ships herself off to a farm she is wildly unqualified to run. The deal is simple: ninety days to marry her assigned match, or walk away empty-handed. Armed with homesteading books and a closet full of pristine aprons, she figures the hard part will be dealing with the cows.

Garrett Vance is nothing like the husband Cassie pictured. He’s a quiet, hardworking farmer convinced a city girl could never truly want a man like him. While the tension between them builds to a breaking point, Cassie refuses to admit her growing feelings first—she needs to know Garrett is choosing her, not just honoring the contract. But when her old life in the city calls with an irresistible offer, Cassie must decide if she’s going to run when things get complicated, or finally root herself in the life she didn't know she wanted.

A crumbling estate. A looming scandal. And the devoted Earl who will do anything to claim her.

After two disastrous marriages, Lady Margot Ashbourne has sworn off passion forever, focusing her fierce determination solely on rebuilding her ruined country estate. To her, romance is a messy complication she is too practical and damaged to endure.

The problem is, Percy has no intention of settling for a bloodless arrangement. He has been secretly burning for Margot for months, utterly captivated by her sharp wit and her impossible standards. Now, trapped in a marriage that was supposed to be safe and separate, Percy is determined to shatter Margot's defenses.

She's fighting to save her family's legacy.

Thea Jones has poured everything into The Sweetheart Inn - her grandmother's legacy, her late grandfather's roses, her whole heart. When corporate sends word they're "reviewing the portfolio," she knows what that means: prove the inn's worth by Valentine's Day or lose everything. The last thing she needs is to train another clueless seasonal hire who can't fold a fitted sheet to save his life. Even if he does have unfairly gracious hands. And shoulders. And a smile that makes her forget she swore off charming men forever.

He's hiding who he really is.

Nick Stanton didn't mean to lie. He came to Cupid Corner to assess his grandfather's property - a sentimental acquisition the board wants sold. But when the inn's gorgeous, stubborn manager mistakes him for the missing help, he makes a split-second choice: What if, just once, someone wanted him for who he is instead of what he owns? The problem is, every day he doesn't tell her the truth, he falls a little harder. And the woman teaching him to fold hospital corners has no idea she's training her own boss.

When the truth comes out, will love be enough?

As Valentine's Day approaches and the Sweethearts Dance draws near, Nick's secret becomes impossible to keep. When Thea discovers the man she's falling for owns every piece of her world, she'll have to decide: Is he just another powerful man who used her, or is he the one person who finally sees the real her - Tabitha, the girl who changed her name but never stopped believing in love?

ACCIDENTAL VALENTINE is a steamy small-town romance featuring a billionaire who's terrible at laundry but excellent at grand gestures, a heroine who guards her heart like a fortress, meddling cafe owners who know everything, a cat named Eros with impeccable taste, and a Valentine's Day you'll never forget.

A fire that will either consume her—or set her free.

When Belle stumbles into the ancient fortress on the cliffs, she never expects the dangerous stranger waiting inside.

She was meant to fear him.

He was meant to destroy her.

Instead, their bond could shatter kingdoms.
