Dutiful daughter, my brother’s keeper, civil servant, and protector of my city—that’s me, Officer Dahlia Wicker. I’m a master at switching hats, until an ambush in the line of duty forces a new title on me—gunshot victim. I wake up in the emergency room, scared to death, and staring into the face of an angel with soft-yet-firm hands and a smile that makes my heart tremble.
Dr. Weston Ellison’s promise to look after my little brother eases my anxiety. His hands on my skin remind me I haven’t been touched by a man in a long time. After my recovery, I can’t stop running into him and I’m forced to admit how often I think about his lips and how badly I want them on me.
We are way too different.
Weston comes from generational wealth, and I’m Baltimore humble. Desire opens the door to our relationship, but feelings break in and take us hostage.
When my brother is unjustly arrested, a spotlight blares on our differences. Our bond falls victim to prejudice, privilege, and racism. Are we strong enough to withstand these age-old threats, or will they destroy us for good?

REVIEW EXCERPT:
★★★★★
Normally stories like this would have the hero be a male officer who meets a female angel in the medical profession, that was step one in getting my attention in this story and I was glued all the way to the end. There is action, there is love, there is strong passion and there is present day social instances of modern day injustice’s. Nothing is sugar coated and when this story ended, I felt as if I had been drenched in a lifetime of real time moments. What I mean is this book is a really good read, scars and all.
