description: IN THE LINE OF FIRE
  
  Sgt. Rock O'Connor:  A burned-out veteran of Chicago's mean streets, a man who'd seen too much of the dark side to care about anything -- including himself....
  
  Lee Kendall:  A woman who lived every second of her life to the max -- and couldn't understand why anybody would want her dead....
  
  Whether she believed it or not, Lee Kendall was in a world of trouble -- and it was Rock O'Connor's job to make sure she got out of it alive.  But he soon realized his intention of keeping things strictly business was totally impossible -- and the farthest thing from what he really wanted.
  
  AMERICAN HEROES: Men who give all they've got for their country, their work  --  the women they love.
