Books like Truly, Madly by Heather Webber
When Lucy Valentine’s parents step aside from Valentine, Inc., the single, bright-eyed matchmaker is thrust into the role of head of the family business. The firm’s tradition—each Valentine supposedly inherits a Cupid‑bestowed ability to read auras—was broken for Lucy when an electrical surge stole her gift. Left with only her talent for locating missing objects, Lucy must navigate Boston’s dating scene and a crime scene where a wedding ring is found on a dead body. She enlists the help of a private eye living upstairs, and together they unravel the mystery, all while Lucy seeks to discover the perfect love for herself.
