Love In February

Three weeks before her Valentine's Day wedding, Gemma Knight's picture-perfect life implodes. Her celebrity fiancé calls it off, the tabloids have a field day, and the London event planner who made everyone else's dreams come true watches her own turn to ash.

Desperate to escape the headlines and pitying glances, Gemma flees to a friend's cottage in the Yorkshire Dales — a remote stone building with a broken boiler, no mobile signal, and a connecting door to the farmhouse next door.

On the other side of that door is Cole Elland.

Taciturn, broad-shouldered, and irritatingly self-sufficient, the sheep farmer wants nothing to do with his sister's heartbroken houseguest. He has eighty pregnant ewes, a fell to manage, and a life carefully constructed around solitude. He doesn't need a woman in designer boots disrupting his lambing season.

But the Dales have a way of stripping things down to what matters.

As frozen pipes force them into proximity and a midnight lambing emergency turns strangers into allies, Gemma begins to thaw — and so does Cole. She learns to build dry-stone walls and bottle-feed rejected lambs. He learns that silence isn't the same as peace, and that some walls are meant to come down.

But Gemma's old life isn't finished with her yet. When her ex calls wanting a second chance and a career-making opportunity demands her return to London, she'll have to decide: Is she running away from heartbreak, or running toward something real?

Set against the stark beauty of the Yorkshire Dales in winter, Love in February is a deeply emotional romance about finding yourself in the last place you expected — and discovering that the best-laid plans are no match for the inconvenient truth of love.
