Distancing herself as best she can from her drug kingpin father, Crossroads Coffee Shop owner Cara Potter wants nothing more than to make a good life for herself and help those she can—ex-cons, in particular. But Cara is nobody's fool, and when undercover DEA Agent Dawson King (aka "Flash"), fresh out of prison on parole, asks for a job, her questioning nature goes into overdrive. While she agrees to hire him, she's determined to remain on guard. Flash is on a mission to bring down Cara's father, and he can't afford to let anything get in the way, especially the attraction that's been simmering between them.
VERDICT Honesty and trust issues loom large in this emotionally taut story that features an assortment of nuanced characters and also delivers a heartwarming romance. Ryan (Montana Heat: Escape to You) lives in the San Francisco Bay area. [Previewed in Joyce Sparrow's "Love Is All Around," LJ 10/15/17.]
