She can't stop the heat she feels when he's close by that distracts from the prize. Worse, he's not the bad guy she'd expected him to be; and he wants her, too. Lyrissa and Noel are on different sides of the tracks, but they don't stay that way for long. Soon they're caught up in a hot romance. They have to fight a family feud, and allegations of crime to get some love. Review Citations:
