About this item

He’s not even close to her type…

Valentine always did what was expected of her—and ended up with a broken heart and a stolen identity for her troubles. Now she works as a freelance artist in the heart of New Orleans and lives day by day, not for the future. Lately her days are filled with loud construction thanks to the ridiculously hot contractor who’s working on her building. A man she’s doing her best to ignore, no matter how hard he makes it.

But maybe he’s exactly what she needs…

Arthur, aka “Bear,” has fallen hard for Valentine, a sweet, quirky woman with eclectic jobs—like posing as a nude model for art classes. But she barely seems to know he exists, until he saves her from a would-be mugger. After that, things change overnight, but she’s still keeping him at arm’s length. Even though he wants to prove to her that he’s nothing like the men from her past, he’s trying to pretend that he can do casual but it’s too late—he’s already all in. Unfortunately it might not be enough for his Valentine.

SHORT NOVELLA in the same world as Falling for Nola.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful novella
    Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2025
    This reader is a huge fan of this author, having read all but her paranormal books. This one was another winner.
    We are in New Orleans where Valentine lives after having left behind her heartaches and disappointments.
    She thrives as a freelance artist, a nude model, and teacher to kids in the local community/art center.
    What she can’t deal with is the noise the renovations in her building are causing while she works at home. The only good thing or should I say, person, that has come out of her disruption is Arthur/Bear Lockhart. Owner of the construction company who is also the lead on the renovations. A man that truly is a “bear”, with his tattoos and gorgeous eyes.
    Meanwhile, there is something Valentine doesn’t realize , Bear is totally enchanted by her.
    As these two develop a friendship, Valentine realizes how wonderful he is.
    But fear of getting hurt as she did in the past, has her running away.
    Will Valentine finally realize that Bear is the one for her? That he is someone who gets her and would never cut her wings?
    This was a delightful novella with well developed characters and plot. Something many authors attempt to do in writing a novella, but few accomplish.
    I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

    A perfect story for Valentine's.

    Valentine is a sassy thing, but that doesn't mean she is blind to the broody contractor outside her window. But the noise they are making is making her even more cranky.

    Off to confront the man, and did she say, Hot Contractor? oh yeah... Arthur could be any woman's dream but he is off limits to her or is he?

    Arthur has seen her, the woman of his dreams so when she is in trouble of course he will be there. He will be her hero if she lets him.

    Cute, romantic, and fun story!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet, steamy, little romance, perfect for a break
    Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2025
    I love a big burly hero so I was excited to get Bear. I loved him from the very beginning and was disappointed that I didn't get more of his big burly ways. Valentine was unique with an interesting background together making them a couple that I wanted more of. The drama was low, the romance sweet and the steam, sizzling.

    This is a fast read making it perfect for a quick break. I am thrilled that this author will be releasing more of these delicious bites between books in the future.
