Happy New Year! Author Lois Winston is celebrating
2014 with a new book, not one featuring moi, though. She took a break from
mystery and my adventures, giving me a much needed rest from all the caca she
constantly throws at me, and let her romance side loose for a change.
The magic of Valentine’s Day comes alive in Love, Valentine Style, a
very special holiday anthology of never-before published novellas by six
award-winning and Amazon bestselling authors. You won’t find these stories
published anywhere else, and this box set is available only
at Amazon.
To kickstart the launch of Love, Valentine Style, the authors are celebrating with a party over at Facebook. Stop by today from 10am-3pm to enter to win all sorts of prizes, including a Valentine cloisonné necklace that Lois is offering.

Stories in the anthology include:
Finding Mr. Right by Lois Winston
In this mini-sequel to the
award-winning Hooking Mr. Right by
Lois Winston (writing as Emma Carlyle,) editor Grace Wainwright, has taken over
the role of bestselling author and romance guru Dr. Trulee Lovejoy. Thea
Chandler, the original Trulee, is now married to her Mr. Right and is a
successful cookbook author. She and Grace host the top-rated Love Recipes cooking show. When producer
Becket Delaney announces the first two shows in February will have a
Valentine’s Day theme, Grace freaks out. The worst day of her life occurred on
Valentine’s Day ten years ago, and she wants no reminders of it.
Beck has his own reasons
for hating the holiday, but the show must go on, and he absolutely refuses to
deal with an uncooperative prima donna. When a citywide blackout traps him and
Grace in his thirty-fourth floor office, their adversarial relationship really
begins to heat up.
Be My Other Valentine by Jasmine Haynes
Grace is a baker and Sugar & Spice Bakery is her
life. Five years ago she was given a sacred duty to perform by a mother dying
of cancer: Every Valentine's Day, Grace must deliver one of her beautiful cake
creations to a little girl named Valentine, and it must be addressed from the
girl's mother up in heaven. But this Valentine's Day, Grace's delivery truck
might finally give up the ghost before she drops off her precious cargo.
Brian lost his wife five years ago, and their little
girl Valentine is all he has left of her. But what Brian has forgotten is that
very special gift Valentine receives every year on Valentine's Day, and he's
moved his daughter to a new house with no way to contact the mysterious baker
who has followed his wife's wishes all these years.
In their quest to fulfill a dying woman's last
request, can Grace and Brian find their own Valentine?
Hotel Amore by Pamela Fryer
After being jilted at the
altar by her fiancé, Virginia Montgomery quit her job and moved a thousand
miles away to manage Hotel Amore on Little West Cay, hoping she’d never see
that no-good coward Thomas Bennet again. But Fate and Mother Nature conspire
together and whip up a little Valentine’s Day magic to bring Virginia and
Thomas back together.
You know what they say;
Fate doesn’t take no for an answer, and it isn’t nice to mess with Mother
Nature.
Civil War Valentine by Haley Whitehall
Recently
divorced museum curator Charlie Bristol comes to Seattle to set up a display at
the Fine Art museum chronicling the history of Valentine’s Day. The director of
the museum surprises her with a package of Civil War valentines from an
anonymous donor. She reads the heartfelt messages and is touched by his words.
Does such powerful love still exist?
During
a nap she dreams she’s alive during the Civil War and meets Elliot Lowery, the
author of the valentines who mistakes her for his fiancée Charlotte. She and
Elliot negotiate the murky waters of wartime romance. When she wakes she’s
still under the dream's spell and Valentine’s Day love is in the air, but
Charlotte has no reason to celebrate. The man she loves died 150 years ago.
Unless love works some miracle even time and death cannot overcome.
Forever My Valentine by Raine English
She left him... He loves her... A snowy Valentine's gives
them a second chance.
Returning home after a
disastrous job relocation, Miranda is determined to avoid the man she left
behind—and whose heart she broke. Until she finds a hidden treasure in a music
box. An engagement ring engraved with a decades’ old date. And the only man who
can help reunite the precious ring with its owner is the last man she wanted to
see.
When Ian sees Miranda walk
into his antique shop, his defenses go up. She walked away from him once
without a backward glance. Since then he’s given up on love. But when their
eyes meet and sparks fly, he wonders if maybe there’s a Valentine’s Day miracle
in store for them.
A snowy night’s journey to
bring the ring to its elderly owner turns into a second chance at romance for
Miranda and Ian. But as the frost melts from around their hearts, it exposes
old hurts and deceptions. This Valentine’s Day could be the start of something
wonderful. Or the proof that their love was never meant to be.
Valentine Rules by Mel Curtis
What started out as an
innocent assignment for work –accompanying a popular actress fresh out of rehab
on shopping trips – has gained Gemma Kent regular makeovers by said actress and
a sidebar photo on People magazine’s
cover! All the attention would be flattering, except she’s become famous
as a mystery woman with the Twitter handle: GlitterfrostGem. Everyone,
even the local gossip column, is speculating about her identity. In real
life, Gemma wears combat boots, poindexter glasses, and a prickly
attitude. Now Randy Farrell, the man she can’t get out of her head, wants
a date with Glitterfrost Gem! Which would be great if he realized that
invisible Gemma Kent and Glitterfrost Gem were one and the same.
So if you’ve recovered from
last night’s festivities, and you’re tired of the football games blaring from
the television today, check out Love,
Valentine Style for a romantic getaway.
