DEA agent Cage Murdock was like a panther, dark, sleek and ready to stalk the vermin that had gunned down his brother in a brutal drive-by shooting. Revenge was his sole reason for coming to Mayflower Heights, until he met Haley Stewart, a bright, gutsy activist convinced that more violence wasn't the answer. Her once-peaceful neighborhood now an arena for drug-spawned savagery, Haley Stewart was determined to create a difference. Armed with savvy, street smarts and dreams, she made rebuilding Mayflower Heights her whole life, until the day Cage Murdock roared into town like some bike-riding, jeans-clad avenger. Vengeance fueled his fire. Idealism sparked her soul. Could they come together to find heaven in an inner-city hell?
