Theyre back--the boys you go out looking for precisely because your mother warned you not to--the bad boys every good girl needs at least once if not twice Raphael Rafe Santiago may have left the streets years ago but the street has never left him A rough childhood in the Bronx taught him never to let his guard down to keep everything in order and always to trust that little voice in his gut that tells him when someones got something to hide horse trainer Elena Caulfield is definitely hiding something and Rafe intends to find out what it is and take care of it--his way But his way wasnt supposed to include feeling an intense attraction to the tomboyish Elena With her mud-caked boots quiet strength and gentle manner shes nothing like the flashy seductive overtly feminine women Rafe usually beds The closer he gets to her the harder it is to control that fiery passion hes worked hard to keep cooled the kind that can catch a man off guard and leave him open to danger--because whatever secret Elenas protecting its big and worth killing for Because when youre from the Bronx you take care of what you love--or die trying.
