The Valentine Single

Love, Murder, and a Sea of Secrets

This Valentine's Day, romance takes a backseat to murder aboard the luxurious superyacht Orchid's Kiss. When Lindsay Zimmer, owner of Sweetie's Latte Café, is hired to cater the exclusive singles party for charity, she's expecting champagne, canapés, and maybe a little matchmaking—not a corpse in her cabin closet.

The victim? The glamorous philanthropist who organized the event. As the yacht drifts further from shore, Lindsay finds herself navigating a storm of wealthy suspects, secret rendezvous, and simmering rivalries. With no way to escape and a killer on board, Lindsay must unravel the mystery before love's most romantic holiday ends in heartbreak—or worse.

Can Lindsay serve up justice before dessert, or will this be her last catering gig?

The Valentine Single is a short story in the Sweetie's Latte Cozy Mystery Series. If you are familiar with my other books, you'll see it takes place in Moon's Landing!
