Not My Valentine: A Grumpy Meets Sunshine Love Story

Evan Hawthorne keeps his world quiet and orderly. He owns a small-town bookstore where feelings stay on the shelves and Valentine’s Day belongs to someone else. Predictable suits him. Romance does not.

Oliver Reed runs on the opposite setting. He’s cheerful, talkative, and endlessly patient, the town’s event planner who lives for bringing people together especially in February. He believes love shows up when you make space for it.

When Cupid on Main names Evan’s bookstore a featured stop, avoidance fails. Collaboration follows. So do clashes. Evan resists. Oliver persists. Late nights stack up, keys jangle after closing, and small kindnesses slip through the cracks. The line between duty and choice starts to blur.

Rumors spread. Assumptions press in. Evan feels his boundaries tested, his peace suddenly fragile. Oliver learns that connection isn’t something you schedule or sell, it’s something you keep choosing.

In a town loud with Valentine expectations, they face a quieter question.

Can they choose each other without giving up who they are?
