Meghan
Muldoon is at a crossroads in her life: struggling to balance the demands of a
high stress vocation as an advocate for victims of violence with her feelings
for Keenan Rossi, a man who wants to make their relationship permanent. On
Valentine's Day, a series of routine crises force Meg to question staying in a
profession which fulfills her both professionally and spiritually—or devoting
the rest of her life to the one person who completes her.
Excerpt:
“Crime Victim Services. How may I
help you?”
The
caller's voice was low, husky, and exquisitely male. “Do you know the
difference between a barracuda and a victim advocate?”
Her
heart skipped a beat. “Lip gloss.”
“Well damn,”
Kee muttered. “You already heard it.”
“An oldie but
a goodie, pal.”
“Aren't we
all. How you doin' on this gorgeous February day, gorgeous?”
Bringing
his handsome face to mind took no great effort. They had worked together for
more years than either cared to count. When the relationship progressed beyond
professional Meg felt they should keep things under the radar. At first Keenan
agreed, claiming he wasn't in the mood tor any crap from his peers about
exploring his feminine side. But after a while he began to push for something
more permanent. And she wasn't so sure she was ready for that, especially
marriage. Meg liked being able to come and go as she pleased, responsible only
to herself, and for herself.
Even
though she heard the tease in his voice now, she was still smarting from last
night so proceeded with caution. “Not too bad. How's by you?”
“Lemme tell
you, cara. If I was any better, I'd
scare myself.”
