Operation Valentine

Wayne has returned to Rosebridge. Now all he has to do is put his grand plan into action with "Operation Valentine".
But often the fate of great plans is to be upset.


Wayne Whitmore, an established botanist with a successful career in London, has only one goal: to save his grandmother Elizabeth's shop from imminent bankruptcy. So he decides to return to Rosebridge, the Cotswold village he had once sworn he would leave forever. Even if it means being confined for a whole month and surviving in a place where everyone knows everything... or at least thinks they do.
Behind the flirtatious glances and constant female attention, Wayne hides a truth that could destroy the balance and the attraction that drive customers back to "Whitmore Flowers": his charm and the hope of securing a romantic date with him.
As Rosebridge prepares for its grand Valentine's Day event, the main square is awash with flowers, lights, and promises. This is how Wayne collides with Nicholas Eyre, a master chocolatier with rugged charm and a magnetic gaze, who quickly uncovers his deception. Amid bickering, an irresistible attraction, and unspoken secrets, the two men are drawn into an explosive and dangerous partnership that threatens to shatter all their masks.
As the past resurfaces and the lies grow increasingly fragile, Wayne will have to choose between continuing to pretend and having the courage to confess the truth, finally putting his heart on the line.


A sweet and sensual novella, full of flowers, chocolate, and second chances, where love demands nothing more than to be revealed and fully experienced, even at the risk of derailing all plans and rewriting destiny.
