A Promise at Bluebell Hill
Valentine Valley Series
By Emma Cane
Welcome to Valentine Valley, where romance blooms and love captivates even the most guarded of hearts . . .
From the moment Secret Service agent Travis Beaumont strides into the town and through the door of Monica Shaw's flower shop, she feels a sizzle of attraction. After years of putting everyone else's needs first, Monica is ready to grab hold of life. If she can just persuade the ultimate protector to let his own walls down for once . . .
The President's son is getting married in Valentine Valley, and Travis should be avoiding all distractions . . . not fantasizing about a forthright, sexy-as-hell florist. Especially when she's keeping secrets that could jeopardize his assignment. But just this once, Travis is tempted to put down the rulebook and follow his heart—right to Monica's door.
Roses are red, violets are blue, and in Valentine Valley, love will always find you.

Monica
Shaw is a florist about to hit thirty in a small town. She’s not desperate to
find a man, but her friends are pairing up and having children. She wishes them
happiness and wishes to join their ranks. One day, a handsome stranger is
walking in and out of all the businesses on her street. Good thing she decides
to have lunch outside. She waves at to him and he walks up to her. He’s even
better looking up close. A military precision air about him appeals to her.
He’s pleasant, but never smiles. Travis Beaumont has set up a Secret Service
detail at the local hotel. The President’s son is marrying Ashley Ludlow in two
weeks. It promises to be the biggest happening in Valentine Valley ever, but
it’s a secret. Travis hints about it to Monica because her shop is in a
strategic location. The vantage point from her apartment window above her shop
is perfect for watching the street. He asks her advice for a place for his team
to unwind. She suggests a local bar. Hoping Travis will be there; she goes and
dances with a guy from his team. Travis has put together files on everyone in
the town and comes across a picture of Monica at a rally. She and others in the
town have been outspoken advocates for environmental issues. When news of the
President’s arrival is in the local paper, some see it as a perfect time to
stage a protest. A cache of mammoth bones have been found and the ground needs
to be protected. Travis will only be in town for a short time, but he and
Monica can’t help their attraction. Will one of them blink so they can be
together?
Monica is
a fun character who carries a secret for her twin sister. She holds family and
friends very close and dear. Travis tries to be the tough guy, but melts
whenever Monica is near. They make a sweet couple. The older widows in the town
continue to shock and entertain the residents. Light cute read.
This is
the fourth book in a series. Many of the characters are recurring and it’s best
to read the books in order.

never gone away, although today she concentrates on the heartwarming characters

not necessarily at the same time), and hiking and snowshoeing alongside her
