Psychologist, Susanna Daniels works with disturbed teens in a Christian facility in Angel Falls, Texas. A difficult situation with one of the teens has left Susanna overcome with feelings of inadequacy and a lack self confidence. As she sits on a bench in Falls Park she is overcome with tears as she prays about her feelings of failure. Gabe Peretti, cop from Detroit, Michigan is walking his German Shepard in the park. Injured, discouraged, and having had his fill of the violence of big city crimes Gabe is looking for a fresh start. As his dog suddenly tugs on his leash he is alerted to the sobs of this beautiful young woman. Gabe feels a nudge from God, and allows his dog to take the lead as he approaches the park bench. The dog bounds up and places his paws on Susanna's knees, startling her from her tearful prayers. Her eyes then connect with the eyes of a handsome man. Concerned about Susanna, Gabe asks if she cares to talk about her problems, and the two sit together and share their stories. They each go their separate ways without as much as exchanging names. A chance meeting brings them back together, and Gabe volunteers at the youth facility in an attempt to help Susanna.  A deep attraction forms between them as they work together with troubled teens.Marianne Evans paints a beautiful and detailed picture of the settings throughout the book. Her characters are very well defined and lovable. She uses beautiful terms to portray the events in the story, bringing people and events to life. This book is filled with action and romance, and was a pleasure to read. I look forward to reading more of Marianne's books.A PDF copy of this book was provided to me by the author for review purposes.
