Veronica Valentine, a sharp and inquisitive journalism student at USC, is tired of the routine of college life. Between dull lectures and endless assignments, her restless curiosity craves a bigger challenge—a mystery worth solving. When petty thefts sweep through her dorm, Veronica’s investigative instincts kick in. What begins as a small dorm room caper quickly escalates, drawing her deeper into the world of secrets, suspects, and hidden motives. Determined to unmask the thief, she sneaks into the library archives, sets up covert surveillance, and dives headfirst into her first true investigation. But as the pieces start coming together, her bold actions catch the attention of someone much closer to home—her father, a renowned Hollywood detective. Caught between her father’s warnings and her desire to prove herself, Veronica is faced with the biggest question of her budding career: Is she truly ready for the dangerous path she’s chosen? Valentine's First Venture introduces a fearless young sleuth with a passion for ordinary and supernatural mysteries. Will Veronica’s first case propel her into the world of investigative journalism, or will it lead her into danger beyond her control?
