The Valentine Contract

Lena Brooks has one month to save Petal & Parcel, the flower shop her aunt left her. Micah Reed has one month to
prove his family's waterfront hotel still belongs in Harbor Point. Their solution is a Valentine campaign built around a
pretend romance: four public appearances, one carefully worded contract, and absolutely no catching feelings. But
between a lantern-lit market, a rain-soaked walk along the harbor, and the quiet kindness that never makes it into the
posts, their performance starts to feel like the truest thing either of them has chosen. When the truth comes out, Lena
must decide whether Micah can love her without turning her into a story. A short, sweet, slow-burn contemporary
romance about small-town loyalties, unexpected love, and the courage to choose what is real.
