Purrfect Valentine
(2026)(A book in the Cupid Corner Valentine's Romcom series)
A novel by Carina Walsh
Corbin Wright storms into a cat café with a sick kitten shoved inside his jacket and zero plans to stay in the small town of Cupid Corner longer than it takes to fix his car.
He’s stranded. Recently laid off. On his way to win back the ex who dumped him. And absolutely not a cat person.
Ally Vanderspelt is Cupid Corner’s sunshine veterinarian and the last woman who has time for a grumpy city guy who insists he’s ‘just passing through.’ She loves her animals, her town, and her carefully built life. She’s absolutely done falling for men who leave and who don’t understand how busy she is.
But the kitten Corbin rescued is dying.
And legally, ethically… the decision to save her belongs to him.
Daily vet visits turn into forced proximity. A Valentine-obsessed mountain town decides Corbin is a hero whether he agrees or not. And the more time he spends with Ally (and the kitten who refuses to leave his side) the harder it becomes to pretend this is temporary.
And when his past shows up asking him to walk away, Corbin has to choose.
Choosing Ally means choosing the town.
Choosing the kitten means choosing responsibility.
And choosing love means staying—even when leaving feels safer.
Purrfect Valentine is a lighthearted, spicy small-town romcom featuring a grumpy man who falls first, a sunshine veterinarian who’s tired of being temporary, one twin bed, and a kitten determined to save them both.
