ROMANTIC/SOFT-BOILED MYSTERY
burning questions
by Elaine Busby
As TV reporter Kelly Moran negotiates Portland OR’s streets to
get to a press conference covering the arson fire at Hart Candy,
a couple of assumptions form in her mind. First, the owner
of a candy company must surely be a portly man well into his
golden years. Second, it seemed likely that Hart had a hand in
starting the blaze which destroyed his candy company.
One look at Steve Hart—trim and handsome—cancelled Kelly’s first assumption, but she couldn’t be so sure about the second. His concerns seem heartfelt, but Kelly can’t silence her reporter’s suspicious questions. How did those secretive phone calls figure in? Who stood to gain if the candy company was out of business? Was Steve Hart really attracted to her or was he simply looking for some “journalistic cover”?
As Kelly searches for answers, she realizes that he own heart has added to the list of burning questions.
