Are You Lonely Tonight by Lorraine Bartlett. Publisher: Lorraine Bartlett, March 2011

A Valentine’s Day Short story.

It’s the most romantic night of the year and Diana Mason is alone. She broke up with her boyfriend because he wanted a playmate not a soul mate, but it’s someone else who haunts her thoughts on the most romantic of holidays. Is there a chance he’s thinking of her, too?

Lorraine Bartlett is the New York Times Bestselling author of the Booktown Mystery series (under the name Lorna Barrett) and also writes the Victoria Square Mysteries. She got her professional start writing short stories for magazines and finaled in the St. Martin’s Press/Malice Domestic writing contest before being published in novel length.

This was a warm and tender story of how a simple friendship between two people grew to something more, one of understanding and love.
