Valentine Vendetta — Melanie Atkins

Nikki Brooks never thought she'd ever see her childhood nemesis again after high school, when he played a heartless trick on her that got her kicked off the school paper staff and made her a laughing stock. Until now, twelve years later, when she's forced to trust her life to Marc Trapani, the strong-willed detective assigned to guard her when a murderer threatens her life -- and he lays siege to her heart.
