In a sultry California city on the Mexican border, a
brutal crime pushes a struggling young mother and an
idealistic cop to the edge of passion—and beyond.
To support her small daughter, April Ortiz does what she
has to do—which means waiting tables in a skimpy outfit at
a popular nightclub in a gang-infested area of Chula
Vista. When one of her co-workers is raped and murdered,
April does what she knows she shouldn’t—she defies the
neighborhood code by giving the police a hardcore gang
member’s name.
Clean-cut cop Noah Young wants a shot at breaking this
case more than anything in the world—that is, until he
meets the unforgettable April Ortiz. When April gives Noah
the tip, a spark ignites. As the fire between them
threatens to blaze out of control, the two are dragged
down further into the dark mysteries of the graffiti-lined
streets, taunted by a crazed killer who could strike again
at any time.
Excellent romantic suspense. I was completely caught up in the hunt for a killer and the growing relationship between April and Noah. The characters were authentic and compelling. Ms. Sorenson has captured a world where people are not all good or all bad, just very human. The main characters are relatively young and inexperienced which means they make mistakes and have a lot to learn. It is their determination to do what's right pushes them to take risks. I look forward to reading many more books by this author. (Maria Munoz 9:22pm May 2, 2011)
