Books like Forever Mine, Valentine by Vicki Lewis Thompson

Jill Amory is a talented but directionless artist who has earned the nickname "Jill of All Trades, Mistress of None." Determined to turn her life around, she plans a cross‑country journey to discover the career that will bring her true fulfillment—and to do so without any romantic distractions. Meanwhile, Charlie Hartman, a warm‑hearted elder who believes himself a modern Cupid, has other plans. Convincing his friend Spence Jegger—a self‑proclaimed marriage‑phobic native of Colorado Springs—to consider a mortal love on Valentine’s Day, Charlie sets his sights on Jill. As Jill travels toward her career goals, both she and Spence must confront their reservations about love and loyalty. The story follows Jill’s quest for artistic and personal success, interwoven with Charlie’s matchmaking scheme and Spence’s reluctant acceptance of romance, revealing how destiny can surprise even the most resolve.
