Can a free spirited barista and a critic of all things sweet discover what they've both been missing? Charley Rhodes works at Bold Brew Coffeehouse and has a penchant for matchmaking. Some even say she's an actual love match charmer, but Charley simply maintains it's the magic of living in Valentine, Vermont, and the maple cinnamon lattes that inspire her gift of helping others find love. The problem is she's just as bad at finding love for herself as she is good at finding it for others. With an angelic voice that could melt the coldest of hearts, her single status is even more difficult to grasp. Too bad making whipped cream and chocolate drizzled beverages are the only plans she's had for Valentine's Day since having her heart tossed out like a box of outdated candy hearts three years ago. Dean Corbett is a travel reviewer. It's a job he takes seriously, although his friends and family think he just gets paid to eat, sleep, drink, and soak up all the activities to be found wherever he goes. He doesn't stay anywhere long enough to think about a relationship and purposely avoids scheduling stays in any romantic venue on the day romance is on overkill. Spending a weekend in a town named Valentine wouldn't be so bad, but not on Valentine's Day during a snowy weekend surrounded by visitors for a matchmaking event. Losing that Super Bowl bet to a colleague landed him trading reviews, so while his buddy reviews a ski lodge in Aspen, Dean's stuck in "Nowhere-ville". On top of that, the owner insists he attend their Valentine Mix and Mingle. Wary of being fixed up, Dean blurts out that he has someone already in mind after a chance encounter at the coffee shop next door to the Willow Lake Inn. Will two lonely hearts discover that Valentine's Day isn't the worst holiday of all and finally find a Valentine of their own?

It is a cold, snowy February in Crescent Falls and Adelaide McBride is enjoying the new excitement in her life as two attractive men vie for her attention. But, her joy is short-lived when two murders occur within days of each other, both obviously the work of the same killer who left a Valentine card on each body. When a third victim is found barely alive, it becomes obvious that a serial killer is on the loose. Once again Adelaide�s son, Chief of Police Daniel McBride, finds his ability to do his job called into question when there isn�t a speedy arrest. All three victims were young, attractive women and one suspect immediately emerges, but Adelaide believes the man is innocent and decides to start her own investigation. Unexpected twists and turns, including an out-of-town murder and an attack on a local attorney, lead the police and Adelaide down a treacherous path in search of a methodical, cunning killer, whose identity shocks and saddens all the residents of the small, close-knit community.

Kitonga Kiminyo, M.D. "Capture The Experience Through Poetry" was an idea birthed into my spirit by God's Holy Spirit. I work in a hospital in Boynton Beach Florida, where I care for people from all different backgrounds with myriads of illnesses. On November 4th 2008, I wrote a poem about Election Day, and over the months that followed, I started to write for coworkers and patients alike. I decided to put these poems together in a book and divide them into different sections that would speak to various life experiences. Whether you are living and enjoying your life or going through a trying time and dealing with death and dying, this book can walk you through the experience with a poem that speaks to your situation. You will end up singing, praying, sharing your life experience with others and adding a bit of humor and encouragement to your life. There are poems in the book that can help you with different situations: If you are dealing with the loss of a loved one. If you are a patient or a hospital worker. If you want to add some humor to your stressful day. If you are happy, sad or just struggling in life. If you have failed or want a deeper relationship with your God. If you are discouraged and need to find hope and encouragement. You can capture your various experiences in this one poetry book. Capture The Experience Through Poetry today. There is a poem inside waiting just for you."
