Painted Hearts: A Valentine"s Sweethearts Story (Valentine's Sweethearts #18)

In the charming town of Heartwood Springs, Valentine’s Day is more than just candy hearts and red roses—it’s a chance for fresh starts and unexpected love.

For Eva Maddox, rebuilding her life meant opening Brush and Bake, a cozy ceramic painting studio that supports her and her six-year-old son, Charlie. After her husband walked out, leaving behind broken promises and a shattered heart. Eva swore off romance, focusing instead on creating a life where nothing—and no one—could hurt her again.

Luke Martin never imagined he'd be raising his five-year-old daughter, Lily, alone. Moving to Heartwood Springs is their new beginning, a place to give Lily the stable life she deserves. Not a place to find love.

But when a rainy afternoon leads Luke and Lily into Brush & Bake, the sparks between them are undeniable. Charlie and Lily’s instant friendship pulls Eva and Luke closer, challenging them to face the fears and heartache they've both locked away. As Valentine's Day draws near, the painted hearts they craft together might just mend their own.

Can two guarded hearts take a leap of faith and find the love they've always deserved? Or will the past keep them from embracing the sweetest of second chances?
