A secluded ch teau, a swirl of secrets, and a vanishing body
It's Valentine's night and rookie PI Lora Weaver is on a case, dining at a secluded ch teau, peering over her menu at another woman's husband. The man is tall, dark, and handsome. And sitting three tables away playing footsie with a redhead ten years his junior.
Lora's job is to report back to the man's wife about said goings on. A routine case, her dashing, French ex-cop-turned-PI boss and faux date for the evening, Laurent, assures her.
Or so it seems until Lora finds herself tripping over a body that mysteriously disappears, mingling with suspicious couples, dodging a sharpshooter, and shivering in a deep freeze.
None of which pleases Lora's own tall, dark, and handsome man, her boyfriend Adam, whose romantic soir e plans for the two of them are hindered while Lora tries to convince by-the-book PI Laurent and co-boss and sassy best friend, Camille Caron, that what's going on at the Valentine villa is anything but routine.
Can Lora find the body, untangle the nest of secrets at the ch teau, and prove that her pursuit of a vie en rose in La Belle Province is more than just a fairy tale?
The Lost Love Liaison is a Valentine caper novella that follows The Pas de Deux from the series of Lora Weaver rom-com mystery novels, but it may be read at any point in the series and is possibly best enjoyed with a small box of bonbons or a few squares of chocolat noir;)
