Gabby Wallace Skips Valentine's Day (Valentine's Ever After)

A speeding ticket. A small-town cop. A Valentine’s Day she swore she’d skip.

I came back to my hometown of Ashen Mills, Texas to skip Valentine’s Day—nothing more. After getting laid off and forced to move home, my plan was hide in my childhood bedroom, scroll job listings I wasn’t qualified for, and avoid anything remotely heart-shaped.

That plan derails the moment I meet Officer Rhett Lawson—annoyingly handsome, endlessly patient, and far too interested in a woman who came home to hide from love. To my surprise, he keeps showing up everywhere. To my confusion, I keep letting him.

Between my mom roping me into the Hearts and Hands nursing-home event, losing questionable bets involving mechanical bulls, baking cookies in Rhett’s kitchen, and dodging glitter explosions, I find myself caught in a romance I never asked for—with a cop who refuses to give up on my guarded heart.

But as I get to know the real Rhett Lawson, it becomes clear that maybe I'm not running from love...maybe I'm running from the kind of love I've been too scared to believe I deserve.

Gabby Wallace Skips Valentine's Day is a sweet, small-town Christian romance filled with faith, laughter, and swoon-worthy moments. Perfect for readers who love patient heroes, second chances, grumpy-sunshine banter, and stories where love acts first—even when the feelings haven't caught up yet.
