Okay so I read this book about a girl who returns to her hometown and moves back in her teenage home. While she is moving in she is tackled to the ground by the towns cop who happens to be the guy who took her virginity many years before at prom
I believe? Anyways the cop is trying to solve a mystery as to why girls from the same orphanage are being murdered. Turns out the girl who just moved into her old teenage home was a part of the little girl orphanage and she remembers what happens only after she lays in the same bed she used to sleep in as a child. The girl and the cop fall in love and the girl ends up being kidnapped by the killer who was the guy who worked at the orphanage and used to molest the girls there.

Google search suggested this Whispers at Midnight by Karen Robards? In one of the reviews one reader wrote this: "Things get off to a jumpy start right from the time they pull up in their UHaul and surprise what they think is a burglar. Turns out the burglar is Matt, he's now the sheriff, and it takes him tackling her in her driveway before they recognize each other."
