Hero in Blue

TARA LOCKRIDGE, ESQUIRE

She was a woman in a man's world, an attorney fighting her first case as public defender, and she needed all the concentration she could muster.

Tall, dark and devastating in uniform, Lieutenant Dan DeAngelo captured Tara's attention the minute he raised his hand to testify. Her concentration was shot, her case nearly ruined--all because of one dedicated man.

Determined not to mix business with pleasure, Tara tried to avoid him. She tried even harder to forget him. But every time she closed her eyes, his image was there, coaxing her, teasing her. And when he finally got his chance, Lieutenant DeAngelo proved to be the hero Tara really needed.
