But when a Yule log is tossed on the fire, Serafina begins seeing things in her aunt''s deck of cards, and Joe''s niece goes missing.they might just have to change their minds. Neither Joe nor Serafina believe in magic, much less romance. Unfortunately, her hunky cowboy landlord, Joe, has other plans for the space, which hasn''t turned a profit in years. She walked away from warm San Diego, her scumbag ex-fiance, and her teaching job in order to come to Snow Creek and take over her deceased aunt''s witchy supply store. Can Snow Creek pull off its annual holiday miracle of bringing love to town? QUEEN OF HEARTS BY JULIET BLACKWELL Serafina Rogers is not an impulsive person, but lately something''s gotten into her. For seven couples, holiday wishes mean more than just gifts or parties. Christmas, the most magical season, is almost upon the small mountain town of Snow Creek. Where love begins on Main Street and ends happily ever after. Annie’s got to solve these mysteries, and fast-because art is long, but life can be very, very short. And if Michael-or whatever his real name may be-isn’t distraction enough, Annie’s mother shows up in town, acting strangely. To track down the missing Chagall, she’ll need the dubious assistance of a certain sexy art thief. Meanwhile, a Chagall painting is stolen from the Brock Museum, and Annie’s old friend Bryan is accused of being in on the fix. But carving out a new reputation can be a creative challenge… Modernism isn’t Annie’s thing, but even she is surprised to discover that the “sculpture” in a prestigious gallery’s grisly new exhibition is an all-too-real corpse-the artist’s. Now Annie puts her artistic talents to honest use as a faux finisher in San Francisco. Lesson learned: genuine art is priceless, and forgery gets you arrested. San Francisco’s art world is exhibiting murderous tendencies… Geez, make a splash in the world of art forgery at the age of seventeen and people can’t stop bringing it up.
