The Valentine Vendetta at the Morning Glory

A white lily. A red envelope. A Valentine’s secret Marigold Lake buried decades ago.
When a mysterious letter marked Mercy appears on her porch, B&B owner Claire Fisher uncovers a love story—and a silence—that won’t stay hidden.

When a single white lily and a red envelope appear on Claire Fisher’s porch the week before Valentine’s Day, the Morning Glory B&B owner assumes it’s just another small-town prank—until she discovers a torn photograph and a decades-old letter marked Mercy.

As snow settles over Marigold Lake, whispers of a long-buried scandal begin to surface. A missing Valentine’s program. A pastor’s hidden ledger. And a love story from 1977 that the town quietly rewrote in the name of kindness.

With Detective Matt Hale, her Boston Terrier Sadie, and the ever-curious Bunco ladies at her side, Claire follows a trail of lilies, letters, and half-truths—straight into a past that refuses to stay buried. What Marigold Lake once called mercy, time may call silence.

Warm, witty, and rich with small-town charm, The Valentine Vendetta at the Morning Glory is a cozy mystery about forgiveness, friendship, and the courage to finally read the past in the light.
