SYNOPSIS.

MINA ALLEGRA DAYNE dislikes a great many things. Early mornings, maths, insects, maths, coffee, maths. As a matter of fact, there are very few things she does like. Mysteries are one of them. And solving them? That's a dream come true for Mina.

So when an unexpected string of murders suddenly strikes at her usually mundanely dreary boarding school, Mina has two options. Either solve the mystery and catch the killer alone or....enlist the help of someone who just happens to be first on her list of dislikes.

♦ ♣ ♦ ♣ ♦

HENRY ALESSIO MORETTI also dislikes a great many things. These include: Valentine's Day, biochemistry, and any day started without the biting bitterness of a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

He also dislikes losing. Scratch that, he hates it. Despises it. Detests it. Loathes it. So it is only natural he would hate, despise, detest, and loathe the one he's been losing to for the past four years. Yes, it would be natural for him to hate Mina Dayne, easy to wish nothing but the worst on her....except...he, well...doesn't. Not even close.

So when an unexpected string of murders suddenly strikes at the mundanely dreary boarding school they both attend, Henry sees this as the perfect opportunity to get close to the girl he's secretly always wanted and make her want him in return.
