Eleven years ago, Clay Wainwright was the prosecuting
attorney when Bailey O'Neil, known as the Street Angel in
the roughest parts of New York City, was a defendant. Since
that time, even though they are still working for the same
cause of keeping teens away from drugs and gangs, Clay has
been the enemy.
Clay is now a U.S. Senator, and he and Bailey are still
butting heads over the same issue, they just have totally
different approaches to the solution. When the governor
assigns them both to a new gang violence task force to
decide appropriation of funds and to what programs, their
intense discussions and heated emotions soon lead to
something neither of them anticipated -- a fiery sexual
passion. Talk about a volatile mix set to explode! Clay and
Bailey are both shocked at the outcome, but realize they
now have to handle it the best way possible.
However, Clay and Bailey have a lot of baggage to deal with
from their pasts, as well as the present. And it's a very
difficult path they have to traverse to reach a
satisfactory resolution for everyone involved, especially
when trust is betrayed and forgiveness is hard to find.
Shay's writing trademark is taking seemingly impossible
relationships with almost insurmountable obstacles and
developing them into classic tales of true love, which is
exactly what she does here. That's not to say the
characters won't have more problems to deal with, but
they've learned the fine arts of giving and receiving and
forgiving, which are the hardest, yet most rewarding,
lessons to learn in any relationship. SOMEONE TO BELIEVE IN
is another highly complex, compelling and thought-provoking
novel written by one of the best.
Bailey O'Neil goes where other angels fear to tread: the
roughest neighborhoods of New York City. With a heart as
big as the city itself, Bailey works to keep teens away
from drugs and gang violence. And people like Senator Clay
Wainwright really push Bailey's buttons--so she signs up to
help his opponent's campaign. But when the governor assigns
both to a gang violence task force, heated discussion soon
turns to fiery passion. Now, the two will have to challenge
their own beliefs--but the Senator and the Street Angel are
always up for a fight.
