Violet Merriman doesn't like taking risks. He's perfectly happy in his small stationer's shop in his small country village of Hartswell, making paper and journals and valentine cards by hand. He's heard all the gossip about the return of the young and wealthy heir to the Manor, and he's not interested in someone so reckless and charming. Even if Captain Valentine Argent is just as heroic and handsome as everyone says.
Val has spent years at sea, and now it's time he came home to his responsibilities. He's hoping to find a safe harbor, and he's drawn to Violet's steady warmth and glorious paper art. But he's afraid that he doesn't belong in Hartswell -- and that he's not truly the dashing hero everyone expects.
As Valentine's Day nears, Val and Violet will discover what they want and where they belong ... and there just might be a Valentine for Violet after all.
