Gilda, the southern-bred mother with a huge heart and an abusive husband, manages to escape with their one-year-old son. She flees to where he will never find her: the city of skyscrapers and millions of strange faces. She finds one man, however, that interests her.

Cole, the ex-military disciplinarian, has chosen to wear the NYC police blues. Can he maintain his perspective and defy his wealthy, controlling father, or will he lose his heart?

The world seems complete and perfect, until Gilda’s ex-husband tracks her down and turns her life into a hell. Now it is Cole’s job to protect her.
