When buying Heart Mates--the dating service her now-deceased, condom-selling husband did business with--seemed like the right thing to do. When she thought bringing lonely hearts together would go a long way toward mending her own broken one. Now she's thinking, Only fools fall in love. For her romantic reveries ended the day she found a stash of sexy panties--each with a Post-It note rating the wearer--hidden in her dead husband's car. The startling discovery left the disheartened Sam with one question: What else was the cheating creep hiding? Try an illegal drug trade--and a whole lot of money.
