Angela Pretty has good reason to dislike Valentine’s Day. Last year, her boyfriend gifted her a non-stick frying pan. This year, he broke up with her.

But when her madcap father decides to launch his latest business venture—a restaurant in the middle of the Devonshire countryside—on Valentine’s Day itself, Angela has no choice but to make the long journey there from London. Even if the rain is biblical. And even if her ancient Volkswagen Beetle might not quite be up to the task…

Gruff, bearded, man-mountain Adam believes Valentine’s Day is cursed. It was the day his wife left him. But when a woman comes running through the rain for help with a broken down car, he can’t refuse to step in. And maybe, just maybe, she might be the one who lifts his Valentine’s Day curse…

A sweet-with-heat cosy rural romance—with a hint of Beauty and the Beast.
