    About this ebook

    Award-winning author Annie Reed delivers a heart-warming Valentine’s Day mystery fans of her Diz and Dee detective series are sure to love.
    The God of Love wants to hire human precog Dee and her grumpy but gorgeous partner Diz to find his missing daughter. No fan of Valentine’s Day herself, Dee would rather not take the job. But no one in her right mind turns down one of the old gods—especially one equipped with pointy arrows—even if the job involves tracking down a headstrong teenage goddess who doesn’t want to be found.

    “I love these Diz and Dee stories.” —Kristine Kathryn Rusch, author of THE RETRIEVAL ARTIST series

    "The appearance of a new Annie Reed story is a treat. Try one and you'll be hooked."
    -—Dave Hendrickson, author of CRACKING THE ICE

      Omens and Oracles and Eros, Oh My

      Annie Reed

      It's not every day a Greek god walks through a girl's front door.

      My partner and I run a detective agency out of an old storefront half a mile from the ferry landing on the mainland side of Moretown Bay. The neighborhood is rundown urban with a touch of whimsical eclectic. The shop next door sells everything Asian, from manga to anime to imported CD soundtracks side by side with things like shrimp chips and lychee jellies. The masseuse across the street has her front door decorated with purple glitter and glow-in-the-dark stars. Every time one of her customers opens that door, enough aromatherapy candle smoke escapes to engulf the neighborhood in a cloud of calm. Or passion. I'm pretty sure on those days she provides more than a simple massage. I don't intend to find out. She seems like a nice enough woman, but I'm not that starved for affection. Not yet.

      I didn't recognize the guy who walked in my office like he owned the place, not right away, anyway. Who'd have thought you'd find a god wandering around a neighborhood like this? The sidewalk in front of our office looks like concrete accordion pleats, and I'm pretty sure a family of four is living in the panel van permanently parked at the back of the municipal lot at the end of the
