______________________________

It's about to be one bloody valentine...

Watching your best friend run away after kissing him? Mortifying. Finding a dead body on campus with him days later? Even worse.

That was the last time Mabel saw Danny, which didn't really set the stage for an epic love story.

With her job at a dream horror studio, romance is the last thing on Mabel's mind... Until an anonymous Valentine's Day card arrives. Someone knows what really happened at Westbrook College, and they're ready to kill again.

Mabel has no choice but to return if she wants to protect the people she loves, including Danny; now a promising, hot law student. It's been a year since they talked, and their chemistry is as thick as their distance.

But when trapped together and facing a killer in a Cupid mask, Mabel must stop running. As the heat of attraction with Danny cranks up, and the body count rises, Mabel can't forget one of the biggest rules in a slasher; it's always the boyfriend.

Oh, and don't have sex.
