Lost roses. Cancelled reservations. Broken dates. Arrests.
Dead bodies. There’s always some reason to hate Valentine’s
Day…unless the scene of the crime starts really heating
up….
MaryJanice Davidson Cuffs and Coffee Breaks In a
moment of weakness, greeting card writer Julie Kay About
accepts a blind date for Valentine’s Day. As if the
restaurant’s snotty waiter, cheap chocolates, and pastel-
colored teddy bears aren’t enough, her date turns out to be
the guy in handcuffs next to the dead body on the floor. At
least he didn’t stand her up. How could a guy with
beautiful, sky-blue eyes and sexy swimmer’s shoulders be a
killer? Julie Kay is not about to have another horrible V-
Day, even if she has to solve a murder and get her possibly
homicidal date arraigned to do it…
Leslie Esdaile A "No Drama" Valentine’s Jocelyn
Jefferson is one sister who is not falling for any romance
drama—no pining over flowers never sent or bling not
gotten. No, this year, Jocelyn’s getting her best
girlfriends together for a "pamper" party at her house.
Except that the "pampering" turns out to be from a dubious
sex toy company. Soon, there’s a whole crew of rowdy,
enthusiastic people in Jocelyn’s apartment. And that’s when
vice detective Raymond Mayfield shows up at her door, all
six-four, hard-bodied bit of him, and he needs Jocelyn for
some very private questioning…
Susanna Carr Valentine Survivor This Valentine’s Day
was supposed to be different for Shanna Murphy. She had a
hot date, sought-after dinner reservations, and a brand new
vase to show off those potential long-stemmed roses. But
Murphy’s Law intervened, and now her date cancelled, she’s
stuck doing overtime, and she’s just discovered the body of
her boss-from-hell. The only person Shanna can turn to is
her ex-boyfriend, Calder Smith, who just happens to be the
most insensitive, non-romantic, domineering—and completely
irresistible—alpha male she’s ever laid eyes on…
These bad boys are bringing a whole lot more than
chocolates…
