Heartbreak and danger follow wherever she goes, but can his love save her before her past destroys their future? Brooklyn Southby has everything she's ever wanted-partnership in a law firm, a beautiful house in the suburbs, and a wonderful boyfriend. Well, ex-boyfriend. Her heart troubles are the least of her problems, though, when her first case comes back to haunt her in the form of an angry, sadistic man with bad hair. Joe Perretti deals with his own issues the only way he knows how-hiding behind his work. As a homicide detective with the Chicago Police Department, there's never enough hours in the day for a social life or a woman, at least until he's given the task of protecting Brooklyn Southby. Business and pleasure collide as his life becomes all about keeping her safe, whether she likes it or not. Will they find love, or will they be destroyed by a man who is stark raving mad?
