title: Reforming Freddy
author: Pickart, Joan Elliott
description: Petite and perky, Tricia Todd shocked herself as much as the seventeen-year-old burglar when she whipped out her nephew's water pistol and threatened to shoot him. She more than got her man-she got two men. Freddy, the felon, and Silence Walker, the sinfully handsome and thoroughly pessimistic cop, both wanted and needed the sunshine in Tricia's soul. Silence was too tough, too protective, and too cynical to go along with her efforts at reforming Freddy. But it was too important to Tricia, so she did it behind his back. Responding to Silence's potent kisses with wild abandon, she began to see Freddy looming as a bigger threat than she could have imagined... a threat that revealed the gulf between her cheerful nature and Silence's world-weariness. And the most urgent question was, could her tough guy the love of her life, learn to live on her sunny side of the street?
