I left Sycamore Mountain a broken man—one of the Malone boys, a family never spoken about without a sneer. But I didn’t just leave my past behind—I left Callie McIntyre, the good girl I was never good enough for. Now Callie’s mayor of our town, and I’m back too, a European-trained chocolatier with a proposal for a new facility I need her approval on. One that will redeem my family name, and hopefully me, in her eyes. But Callie still hasn’t forgiven me for breaking her heart. And if she vetoes this project, she’ll never know it was all for her. Valentine Veto is a standalone steamy second chance novella, part of the Man of the Month Club multi-author series.
