Description
A gunshot wound, a sexy doctor, and the bedside promise that opens up a journey of sex, self-discovery, and love.
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?

This took me a little while to get into, I’d say a good 35% of the way through, but then I was obsessed.
Weston and Dahlia are both such strong characters, I was absolutely rooting for them, and the steamy scenes are hot! Major crushes on Weston and his mouth here.
The book also deals with domestic violence and racial inequalities in a really sensitive and honest way.
Very enjoyable read and lush cover!
I really enjoyed this book and all the characters. Dahlia is a strong cop but also in tune with her emotions. Weston is a caring doctor that really puts in the effort. I enjoyed the banter between Dahila and her partner on their rounds and about the relationship she had with her family. It was interesting to see the perspective of a POC police officer and how she impacted her family and community. The author was super detailed in her descriptions and made it easy to visualize the setting and emotions in each chapter. This book felt longer than it needed to be sometimes and a little predictable but it was a good read.
I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would, it was well written with a good level of story telling, a good amount of steam and spice and well developed characters. The storyline deals with issues such as racism, prejudice, stereotypes and so forth but it is done in a way that is sensitive and comparative to the story. I really liked it.
