In order to keep a roof over her head she works long hours at Sal's place, one of Detroit's favorite diners, and a second job with a cleaning crew. She has insulated herself from close relationships because of her obligations to her family.Ryan Douglas is a dedicated and successful Detroit police officer, handsome beyond description. He suffered indescribable pain in the past, as his father, a former Detroit police officer, was paralyzed as a result of a gunshot wound. Ryan's faith has brought him strength and peace, and his relationship with God is his anchor.
