Author Cane has set the books in Valentine Valley, Colorado, which is a picturesque village famous for its ranches. Valentine Valley is located in Roaring Fork Valley, to the northwest region of Aspen. The village has become popular as a Love Boat stationed in dry dock. It is often visited by people who come to marry, propose, and renew the vows. Some of them also come to resurrect or find love. All of them want to have the postal stamp of Valentine Valley C.O on the invitation cards of their weddings. Even the villagers benefit from this as they gain a lot of advantages from the superstitions. They get the opportunity to develop their business by catering to the tourists. However, the longtime ranchers from the village do not tend to take the changes in good ways. The picture of Valentine Valley changed from being a small ranching village to a famous tourist attraction at the time of the boom in silver mining in the 1880s. The initial dwellers of the region began feeding the miners who came down the mountains and this resulted in the formation of the Valentine Valley community. And after the bust of the silver boom, the community was helped to live on by the ranches and farms. Later, with the splashing of Aspen and the nearby ski resorts on the international level, Valentine Valley turned into a cozy destination to explore for the visitors of Aspen. Even though written in the form a series, the novels can be also read as standalone books. The readers can read the books in any order as the stories are not linked to each other.
