Shes a dreamer. Hes a realist. Somewhere in the middle is loveand danger.
After her husbands death, Catherine Brooks is ready to go back to workalmost. She volunteers at a shelter for homeless teens, Lost Angel, thinking it will ease her return to the classroom. Theres nothing easy about irascible shelter manager Luke Starns, though. His cool detachment rubs her the wrong way, especially when he warns her not to get too attached. Still, the soft heart she senses beneath his stern exterior keeps her coming backand his face pervades her thoughts.
Its not that Luke finds Catherines easy charm and free spirit unappealingquite the opposite. Life on the streets is hard, and discipline is the only ladder thatll get and keep these kids out of trouble. He knows what its like to care too much, only to have the rug yanked away. He tells himself hes simply trying to save her the same heartache.
Yet Catherine has him rethinking his approach to life. Just as he lets his guard down, though, a murderer begins stalking the mean streets near the shelter, putting everything they care about at risk. Including their lives.
Warning: This book contains a gritty setting, a serial killer in a red satin dress, and a couple who think sizzling sex is the only kind worth having.
