My ex-husband has a new girlfriend.

Good for him?we've been divorced for three years. But Dogwood Grove is a small town. And I can't stand the pitying looks, like my coolness rating plummeted just because he found someone new before I did.

My friend wants to have an all-girls dinner out for Valentine's Day, but the last thing I want is the town whispering that I couldn't get a date.

Except I can't tell her no. I'm a chronic people pleaser. The only way out is to find a date for Valentine's Day.

I'm puzzled when I find Hunter Thomson, one of Dogwood Grove's most eligible bachelors?of the sexy, confident, loner variety?perched on my tree with a chainsaw, cutting the dead branches. But he's a guy and he's standing right there.

It's almost too easy to convince Hunter to be my fake date. Little do I know, for him, there's nothing fake about it.

Hearts in February is a spicy, fake-Valentine, small-town romance with a heroine who needs a fake date to save face and the hero who's all too happy to help her... but can he convince her to give love a second chance?

The books in the A Year in Dogwood Grove series are short standalones with a guaranteed HEA. Perfect for a busy schedule. You get all the romance feels and small-town shenanigans in one sitting. Read them in any order. You'll find a familiar face every time you come back and know that you're always home in Dogwood Grove.
