The Valentine Retreat should be the perfect place for Megan to take a mini break from her broken life. She's determined to hide her imperfections and secrets, to allow herself to soak up the opulence and glamour of the hotel for a few days. But she's not the only one at The Valentine Retreat with something to hide. Jim is struggling with his new job. Working at The Valentine Retreat wasn't even close to what he had in mind as his next career move, but he didn't have much choice in the matter. He needs to keep his head down and make this a success. No one can find out the truth about his life.

Anthony Valentine believes he has everything under control. The Valentine Retreat is running smoothly and he's sure the authorities think his illicit activities are hidden in plain sight at his hotel. They are dead wrong about that.

Megan's arrival at the hotel reveals Valentine's hidden agenda. And the flames of attraction that flicker between Megan and Jim ignite more than their mutual passion as the velvet curtain of deceit that hides Valentine's deepest secrets catches a spark. As it begins to burn, their innermost fears are laid bare, and the fire threatens to destroy them all.

The Valentine Retreat is the first in Valentine's Vendetta trilogy.
