Cupid's Dagger — Leona Karr

He sent traditional gifts -- with a gruesome twist...

Candy that just might be poisoned ... beautiful, long-stemmed dead roses ... and a paper heart, pinned to her door with a dagger.

At first, Deanna Donovan thought the gifts were the random acts of a practical joker. But it became appallingly clear that the perverted love tokens were sent from a secret admirer ... and meant especially for her.

Desperate to protect herself and her young daughter from this sinister valentine lover, Deanna turned to Reece Ryndell....

But her childhood sweetheart had changed--from a dependable boy to a man who harbored secrets. He still set her heart racing, but in seeking his help, had Deanna escaped the grasp of a madman ... or run straight into his waiting arms?
