A Girl, A Guy And A Black Eye. Mulberry Lake, #4

Daphne Constantine is back in Mulberry Lake, the town she vowed to never return to again.  She left right after high school with a bruised ego and her tail between her legs.  But now, seventeen years later, she's broke and unemployed, so what choice does she have?  Besides, once she's on her feet she'll be out of there and won't have to look back ever again.  Or at least that was what she was hoping for until her mother causes havoc at a local department store and Daphne gets stuck with the bill.  Now she is in debt up to her neatly plucked eyebrows and is worried she will never be able to dig her way out.
Officer Victor Serafini didn't think he would ever see Daphne again, but now she's back and he can't keep his eyes, or his hands, off her.  He wants nothing more than to rekindle the romance they'd once had as teenagers.  But she isn't interested in him.  She doesn't want marriage and babies like he had hoped.  She just wants out of Mulberry for good.  But someone else is happy she returned to her hometown, not because he likes her but because he wants her dead.  He is determined to make her pay for ruining his life. Can Vic convince Daphne to have a future with him?  And more importantly, can he figure out who wants to kill her and why before it's too late?
