(2026)(A book in the Lovesbury Valentine's Day series)
A novel by Gia Winters
He’s all silence, sawdust, and silver eyes.
She'''s all curves, freckles, and quiet longing.
One Valentine bid, and the town’s grump is done for.
Rose
Coming back to Lovesbury was supposed to be a fresh start. Then I see Hunter Colgrave on the auction stage. My brother’s best friend. The rugged lumberjack who fixed some furniture at my family’s house two summers ago and never left my thoughts.
I am not supposed to bid on him.
I do it anyway.
And I win.
Now I have a weekend with the man I have been trying not to want for years.
Hunter
I only joined the auction to help the veteran center. I did not expect Rose Lanson to be the one who chose me.
She is younger. Sweet. Off-limits.
But once she raises her hand, something in me settles.
She chose me, and I am done pretending she is not mine to look after.
Age gap. Small town romance. Brother’s best friend. Curvy heroine. Reclusive hero. Longtime crush. Valentine auction sparks.
