No more pretty promises until the volunteer firefighter w/ a billionaire secret bids on her heart.
In Willow Creek, Georgia—just a stone's throw from Atlanta's buzz—Nora Reilly has zero patience for love's glossy lies. Burned by family schemes and city heartbreak, this sharp-tongued marketing whiz has swapped boardrooms for black coffee and a vow: no more pretty promises from smooth-talking saviors.
Enter Elias "Eli" Hawthorne, the town's flannel-wrapped firefighter with a grin that could melt steel beams. Beneath the heroism? A secret billionaire fortune and a hopeless romantic's ache for real connection—no strings, no scandals. But Nora's not buying his sunshine charm… until a steamy charity auction yanks her straight into his arms.
As whispers of his hidden world stir old wounds, Nora's walls rise higher. Can one Valentine's gamble prove Eli's heart is the real prize? Or will Willow Creek's magic crumble under the weight of too many secrets?
A grumpy-sunshine opposites-attract standalone in the Willow Creek world, Volunteer Valentine packs found-family heat and billionaire heartthrobs. Because here, it's small-town love, big time feels.
