Romance Suspense
Melissa isn't looking for a man in her life. Not after her
husband’s murder revealed he was swindling local businesses
and sleeping with half the married women in town. At this
point, she just wants to forget the past, forget about men
for a while, and focus on her work as a high school teacher. But it's that very focus that leads her back to Gabe. A new
and troubled student enters Melissa's classroom, compelling
her to meet his father—who, as it turns out, is none other
than her old high school crush. Youthful crushes die hard,
and Melissa's hasn't died at all; as soon as she meets Gabe
again, she feels the old spark. And she's torn. Her
professional ethics warn her away from her student's father,
while her heart draws her closer. Meanwhile, Melissa doesn’t know is that her husband’s killer
is still after his stolen money—and is sure she'll know
where it is. One night, returning to her car after a high
school basketball game, Melissa finds all of her tires
slashed...and realizes that her husband was not only a crook
and cheat, but that he's left her in serious danger. Luckily, Gabe is available to give her a ride home that
night. Melissa's racing mind is put at ease by his presence,
which only makes her feel more confused about him. Though
she doesn't ever want to depend on a man again, she's glad
for his strong shoulder to lean on for a few minutes. The
rest of him isn't bad, either. Gabe isn’t looking for anyone either, not since his wife’s
death. But as a former member of an elite military
organization, he knows four slashed tires mean more than a
high school prank, and his protective urge is aroused. He
remembers when Melissa was just a kid following him
around—but she's no kid any more. He finds himself wanting
more from her than he should. As menace grows around Melissa and Gabe, their relationship
deepens despite their efforts to fight it. Gabe can’t just
walk away now, because his trained instincts tell him she's
in much more danger than she realizes. And he's right: while
they've been focused on each other, the killer has formed a
plan to force Melissa to reveal the whereabouts of his
money—no matter what he has to do to make her talk...
