A mysterious ninja kidnaps a lonely senior citizen and places her with a family in need of a grandparent.
Lovey Dearheart, a sixty-nine-year-old dance instructor, lives a full but solitary life with her little pink poodle Duchess. On the way from her cabin at the Hummingbird Gardens Senior Apartments, a ninja snatches Lovey off a snowy sidewalk. Lovey fears a fanatical fan from her past has kidnapped her to be their unwilling Valentine’s date.
When another senior goes missing before Valentine’s Day, romance is the last thing twenty-five-year-old Brie Bramble has time or talent for. The senior teaches a sultry dance class at the Happy Marmot Community Association where Brie works as the gym receptionist. To keep Lovey’s class going, Brie tries to twerk her way into the role of the missing elderly woman, with disastrous results. In desperation, Brie asks her father, Thorne, to use his questionable private investigator skills to crack this case.
Thorne Bramble’s investigation takes him into the lair of a donut-loving mastermind who counsels incels in the art of seduction. Will Colorado Springs’s finest PI locate Lovey Dearheart before she falls in love with a family obsessed with musical theater? Or will an emotional teen whose favorite color is black steal Lovey’s tell-tale heart?
