Valentine’s Day is known for elaborate celebrations of love, so it makes sense that romance reads would be especially popular on this day. Here are three titles of varying lengths from my catalog that are great to read for today. I have over twenty books to choose from, making it difficult to narrow it down to just three, but I did my best. If you have a favorite of mine that you enjoying reading on today of all days, let me know.
Of course I had to start with Remember Our Love. This short story, which doubles as a prequel to To Build a Vow from The Vow Series, takes place entirely on Valentine’s Day.

Lisa and Jeremiah have never celebrated Valentine's Day. Foregoing the "holiday" had been Lisa's suggestion years ago, and Jeremiah followed suit.
So why was he sending her all of these gifts and what did he do that he needed to make up for?
Things Hoped For: A Vow Series Spin-Off is a sweet, low-angst novella of two women finding love in each other. This is a great choice to read on today if you want literal heart-eyes and all the warm feels.

Can two women who only want to be loved, find a home in each other when the world around them is moving too fast for them to settle down?
Growing up in an intolerant town, Latrisha Martin was used to shrinking the most important parts of herself. She hid her loneliness within a busy life and kept the yearning in her heart tucked away from those closest to her. Just as the façade became too heavy to maintain, Trisha received wise words from a strange woman that helped redirect her life's journey. On a whim, she relocates to Houston, and while adjusting to a new normal, she finds that those desires she'd once hidden begin to manifest in ways she never imagined.
With her star attached to a rocket ship, Xenobia Cooper was quickly transforming from a locally known talent into a name known in households across the nation. Viewed as an overnight success to many, the only thing that the veteran of the Houston underground music scene hadn't prepared for was living a life without someone to come home to at the end of the day. A reckless tweet sent out in the middle of the night brings an influx of women with stars in their eyes, but they all lack the key component that Xeno is looking for. A chance encounter after her largest show to date and she's convinced that those things she'd hoped for are just within her grasp.
Her & Them is a sexy love story of a woman who has her cake in one hand and eats a cupcake with the other. The relentless way that Byron pursues Shanice makes this a wonderful read for today. If you enjoy age-gap romance, try this on for size.

Shanice is living her best life. Her career is thriving, her curves are popping and her relationship with her boyfriend has been tailor-made to support her carefree lifestyle. Her parents are healthy and supportive of her decisions and her best girlfriend, Nedra, keeps her laughing and supplied with wine. She can’t imagine there is anything else that could make her life better than it already is.
However, when something seems too good to be true, that’s probably because it is. What seemed unbreakable, starts to crumble and what was unimaginable begins to manifest in a way she didn’t see coming. Now, with so much uncertainty surrounding her, Shanice has to remember how to trust her intuition even when she can’t see the whole picture.
