It might have been a reckless decision, but I didn’t regret it.
How could I not stop for the dog running down the middle of the road, and in a blizzard, no less? He was alone, in danger, and scared—feelings I understood all too well.
Then a mysterious stranger appeared, and, despite his gruff demeanor, he insisted on helping me. A one-off meeting, I assumed, though there was a part of me that hoped I’d see him again.
Wistful fantasies, I told myself. Dreams for someone whose life hadn’t fallen to pieces. Except when I’m in trouble, Caleb’s the one who comes looking for me.
Of all people, I should know how life can change in a blink. That’s why I moved back to Vermont, after all, after two decades in the Marines.
It’s why I’ve spent the last three years convinced that being alone is better. But when I find Vienna sleeping in her car during a dangerous snowstorm, there’s no way I can turn my back on her.
Truth is, I don’t want to. Not this brave, beautiful, stubborn woman who caught my attention from the second I met her. And it makes me think—maybe alone isn’t better.
But if I want a chance to find out if there’s a future between us, I’ll have to protect Vienna when unexpected danger strikes again.
Vienna’s Valentine is a sweet and steamy novella set in small-town Vermont.
It features a Marine veteran hero, a down-on-her-luck heroine, small-town vibes, age-gap romance, and plenty of action and danger. Set around Valentine’s Day, it’s a great holiday read.
Vienna’s Valentine is the first book in the Green Mountain Holidays series, a collection of novellas that take place during the holidays. No cliffhanger and HEA guaranteed!
