Following a nationwide hunt for a modern day hero, we are proud to reveal the winner of Mills & Boon’s Man of the Year campaign, Courtney Hayles, on the cover of this special edition Valentine’s book, It Had To Be You.

The hunt for a cover star began in September, and involved a public entry and voting process, but our celebrity judging panel made the ultimate decision on who became the Mills & Boon Man of the Year 2016!

With two Mills & Boon stories that treat you to two favourite heroes, in two contrasting romantic settings, this book is the ultimate package for a hit of romance this Valentine’s Day.
