Reading By the Season: February

Every February, I re-read One More Valentine by Anne Stewart. I was fortunate enough to have Ms. Stewart autograph my copy a couple of years ago. ::insert fan-girl squee!::

Jamey Rafferty is a dead mobster, shot down in 1929’s St.Valentine’s Day Massacre who comes back to life every February 13 for two days. “. . . he returned each year with exactly what he left with. A package of Black Clove gum, a crumpled pack of cigarettes and a wallet crammed full of very crisp thousand-dollar bills that was supposed to pay for a shipment of Canadian bootleg liquor.” He’ll keep coming back until he finds true love.

Helen Emerson is an assistant prosecutor in Chicago, and someone from Jamey’s past is trying to kill her. Jamey has 48 hours to make sure she’s safe for at least another year.

Originally issued as a Harlequin Special Edition, the story is now available on Kindle and is again available in paperback.
