Lost roses. Cancelled reservations. Broken dates. Arrests.
Dead bodies. Thereβs always some reason to hate
Valentineβs Dayβ¦unless the scene of the crime starts
really heating upβ¦.
MaryJanice Davidson Cuffs and Coffee Breaks
In a moment of weakness, greeting card writer Julie Kay
About accepts a blind date for Valentineβs Day. As if the
restaurantβs snotty waiter, cheap chocolates, and pastel-
colored teddy bears arenβt enough, her date turns out to
be the guy in handcuffs next to the dead body on the
floor. At least he didnβt stand her up. How could a guy
with beautiful, sky-blue eyes and sexy swimmerβs 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 itβ¦
Leslie Esdaile A βNo Dramaβ Valentineβs
Jocelyn Jefferson is one sister who is not falling for any
romance dramaβno pining over flowers never sent or bling
not gotten. No, this year, Jocelynβs getting her best
girlfriends together for a βpamperβ party at her house.
Except that the βpamperingβ turns out to be from a dubious
sex toy company. Soon, thereβs a whole crew of rowdy,
enthusiastic people in Jocelynβs apartment. And thatβs
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 questioningβ¦
Susanna Carr - Valentine Survivor
This Valentineβs 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 Murphyβs Law intervened,
and now her date cancelled, sheβs stuck doing overtime,
and sheβs 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, domineeringβand completely irresistibleβ
alpha male sheβs ever laid eyes onβ¦
These bad boys are bringing a whole lot more than
chocolatesβ¦
