No Love Lost

Mysteries of Blackberry Valley #9

by Becky Melby

Valentine's Day is approaching, and Hannah Prentiss can't wait to celebrate the romantic holiday with her boyfriend, Fire Chief Liam Berthold. That is, if they can find the time. With Hannah's restaurant hosting both a private luncheon and a special Valentine's dinner for her customers, and Liam being suddenly called away to attend a conference, it doesn't look promising.

But there's more going on in Blackberry Valley this winter. When firefighter Archer Lestrade tells Hannah and Liam that he has been receiving a series of strange and possibly threatening photographs, they rally to his side and undertake an investigation. Working together, can they figure out what the photos mean, who sent them…and most importantly, why?
