My Fake Valentine: A Small Town Fake Relationship Romance

Emma Whitaker loves the quiet rhythm of her independent bookstore in the center of Willow Creek. What she doesn’t love is Valentine season, when the town’s traditions invite nosy questions and well-meaning matchmaking. When the attention turns her way, Emma makes a quick decision. She claims she’s dating Caleb Turner, a familiar face from her past and someone everyone already trusts.

Caleb agrees as a favor. A few public appearances. Some polite smiles. Nothing complicated. But as Valentine events stack up, the act gets harder to manage. Mornings start together. Small favors turn habitual. Laughter comes easy, and the line between pretend and real thins.

With gossip circling, Emma worries the town’s expectations could cost her the independence she’s fought to keep. Caleb, meanwhile, finds it harder to stick to the rules they set. Feelings don’t stay neatly contained.

Before the truth comes out, they both have to decide what they actually want.

Was it ever just an act?

Set in the same welcoming town, Valentine in Willow Creek continues with more heartfelt stories of love, community, and fresh beginnings.

Valentine in Willow Creek is a clean romance series set in a small town where February brings more than red ribbons and window displays. Each Valentine’s season, familiar streets and cozy shops set the stage for love that grows slowly and honestly. Workplace partnerships, old friendships shifting into something more, and pretend relationships that start to feel real all unfold against the rhythm of everyday life.

These standalone stories focus on connection, kindness, and the small moments that change everything. A shared coffee. A snowy sidewalk. A town that notices when someone needs support. With gentle emotion, hopeful endings, and a community that looks after its own, Valentine in Willow Creek offers comfort, warmth, and quiet romance.

Sometimes love shows up right where you already are.
