Gabby Wallace Skips Valentine's Day
(2026)(A book in the Valentine's Ever After series)
A novel by Amber Nicole
A speeding ticket. A small-town cop. A Valentine’s Day she swore she’d skip.
I came back to my hometown of Ashen Mills, Texas to skip Valentine’s Day—nothing more. After getting laid off and forced to move home, my plan was simple: hide in my childhood bedroom, scroll job listings I wasn’t qualified for, and avoid anything remotely heart-shaped.
That plan derails the moment I meet Officer Rhett Lawson—annoyingly handsome, endlessly patient, and far too interested in a woman who came home to hide from love. To my surprise, he keeps showing up everywhere. To my confusion, I keep letting him.
Between my mom roping me into the Hearts and Hands nursing-home event, losing questionable bets involving mechanical bulls, baking cookies in Rhett’s kitchen, and dodging glitter explosions, I find myself caught in a romance I never asked for—with a cop who refuses to give up on my guarded heart.
But as I get to know the real Rhett Lawson, it becomes clear that maybe I'm not running from love...maybe I'm running from the kind of love I've been too scared to believe I deserve.
Gabby Wallace Skips Valentine's Day is a sweet, small-town Christian romance filled with faith, laughter, and swoon-worthy moments. Perfect for readers who love patient heroes, second chances, grumpy-sunshine banter, and stories where love acts first—even when the feelings haven't caught up yet.
Genre: Romance
