I’m so excited to announce that today is the debut of Mr. Valentine, a limited edition romance anthology that celebrates Valentine’s Day! I know that it’s still January and many of us (including me!) might still have some holiday decor lingering around the house. But despite the gloomy days, freezing cold nights, and leftover holiday chores, there are always new books to look forward to. And for this Valentine’s Day, I’m republishing one of my Kingsmill Courtships Series Valentine’s Day stories in this anthology.
So what is the Mr. Valentine Anthology all about? It’s a small, curated collection of five Valentine’s Day romances that are perfect for long winter nights while you drink tea (or wine) by the fireplace. My story, Her Midnight Valentine, is a charming novella of a woman who just wants to celebrate Valentine’s Day with her new husband and teenage daughter with a quiet dinner at home. Instead, she’s faced with chaos and kittens and all sorts of compromises that make her realize how lucky she truly is. I hope you enjoy it!

Her Midnight Valentine
Some Valentine’s Day miracles cause more trouble than others.
Newly-married Jacob Mosby has a Valentine’s Day surprise for his wife. Unfortunately, the residents of his tiny-and-often-annoying hometown of Kingsmill, VA have their own idea of how the newlyweds should spend the day… and the night. Now Jacob has to finish building his wife’s present in time for the town’s dreaded Valentine’s Dinner Basket Auction–the infamous annual event that always ends in disaster.
When Clara’s daughter signs her up to run the Dinner Basket Auction–less than forty-eight hours before it begins–Clara must put aside her romantic expectations of her first Valentine’s Day with her new husband. Instead of buying lingerie and making a chocolate fondue, Clara has to deal with women who refuse to cook, men who think she’s auctioning bachelors instead of baskets, and teenagers who have a secret plan of their own. It doesn’t help that Clara has been sick for weeks, and her husband keeps disappearing.
Yet, once the auction begins, Valentine’s Day magic takes over. Happy couples are paired, past hurts are forgiven, and the teenagers learn a valuable lesson. And when Clara gives up her expectations of others, and herself, she receives a Valentine’s Day miracle of her own. A miracle to last a lifetime.
Five Books in One
One of the things I love about anthologies is that you get multiple stories in one book, and you have a chance to try out new-to-you authors. And this collection includes some of my favorite authors (who also happen to be friends). No matter your taste in Valentine’s Day romances, I’m sure there’s something in this collection that you’ll love this February!
