Bleeding Hearts and Broken Cookies: A Maple Hollow Romance

By Sandra Boyle and Sandra Boyle UT

Lily Hartley came to Maple Hollow for a fresh start-not a grumpy woodworking shop owner with stormy eyes and zero tolerance for Valentine's Day chaos. As the relentlessly cheerful coordinator of the town's beloved Valentine's Festival, Lily is determined to prove she belongs... even if it means partnering with the most emotionally unavailable man in town.
Cole Maddox likes his life quiet, structured, and free of glitter. Running the historic Grange Hall is hard enough without heart-shaped decorations, nosy townsfolk, or a sunshine-soaked single mom who refuses to back down. But when Lily needs his space-and his skills-to save the festival, Cole is cornered into helping... whether he likes it or not.
Late-night planning sessions. Fake dating for the sake of "community spirit." A five-year-old with a talent for matchmaking and an elderly dog who knows all the secrets.
What starts as forced proximity quickly ignites into something dangerously real.
But Lily is guarding her heart after a painful divorce-and protecting her daughter comes first. Cole is still haunted by loss and convinced love only leads to disappointment. And in a town where everyone knows your business, pretending can only last so long before the truth demands its say.
As Valentine's Day approaches and emotions heat up, Lily and Cole must decide if they're brave enough to risk their carefully guarded hearts... or if love is one mess they can't clean up.
