Thirty year old Emily (Strong) Murphy temporarily moves from
San Francisco to the Colorado Rockies to sell the property
inherited from her mother. Emily is divorced after her
husband has left her due to her inability to produce a child
to full term. Feeling whipped and devastated, her goal is
to sell the property, go back to college and eventually be
able to afford to adopt a child of her own. She arrives in
Valentine Valley a new, independent woman.
Meeting the sexy and virile Nate Thallberg turns her close
little world upside down. Neither she nor Nate have any
intentions of committing to a permanent relationship, but
the more they are together, the faster they pursue an earth
shattering sexual affair. The sexy cowboy spends too much
time helping her restore the restaurant while trying to keep
his distance.
Becoming involved in the Thallberg annual rodeo and
submitting an entry to the baking competition opens her life to options she
never thought of in the past. Never has she felt so loved and accepted as in
Valentine Valley, but knowing that Nate desires no long time
commitment, Emily is determined to move on even at
leaving her heart behind. Nate must either let her go or
convince her that he has changed and her future is with him.
Valentine Valley is known to be home for the true love and a
place to mend the broken hearts. Emily becomes the new
independent woman she desires but finds that her goals
in life may not be what they started out being. Her love
for Nate is embedded in her heart but her reluctance stems
from knowing he wants no ties. Finding love when least
expected, creates a new and vivacious woman out of Emily.
This is a love story that tends to stick to you and leaves
you with a warm and fuzzy feeling. The characters are
compassionate and loving and the author put me in Valentine
Valley through her words. Reading this story was definitely
my pleasure as it flowed easily and kept my interest to the
last word. A TOWN CALLED VALENTINE is a true love story
about regular people.
Welcome to Valentine Valley—where broken hearts come home to
mend, and true love may lie just across the range . . .
Emily Murphy never thought she’d return to her mom’s rustic
hometown in the Colorado Mountains. But after her marriage
in San Francisco falls apart, leaving her penniless and
heartsick, she returns to her old family home to find a new
direction for her life. On her first night back, though, a
steamy encounter with handsome rancher Nate Thalberg is not
the fresh start she had in mind . . .
Nate has good reason not to trust the determined beauty who
just waltzed into town—he’s no stranger to betrayal.
Besides, she’s only there to sell her family’s old property
and move back out. But as Nate and Emily begin working
side-by-side to restore her time-worn building and old
family secrets change Emily’s perception of herself, both
are about to learn how difficult it is to hide from love in
a place known far and wide for romance, family ties, and
happily-ever-afters: a town called Valentine.
