They're 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 someone's 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 wasn't supposed to include feeling an intense attraction to the tomboyish Elena. With her mud-caked boots, quiet strength, and gentle manner, she's 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 he's worked hard to keep cooled, the kind that can catch a man off guard and leave him open to danger—because whatever secret Elena's protecting, it's big. . .and worth killing for. Because when you're from the Bronx, you take care of what you love—or die trying. . .

      Starred review from December 1, 2007
      Rafe is sleek, dark and handsome, andpart of the Unholy Trinity. Anchored to Dalton Downs, a lush piece of property in Virginia, they devote their resources to helping people in trouble. Rafe has been watching the new horse trainer, Elena, even though she's not his type. Slender and toned, she wears no makeup and seems to have noclothesother than baggy overalls.Something abouther just doesn?t add up. She came to Dalton Downs with her pregnant horse and claims to need a quiet place for her horse to gestate. Rafe decides to indulge his curiosity and asks forriding lessons. Theyfind each other attractive, but the more Rafe talks to Elena, the more certain he is that she's hiding something. When he digs into her background, he unknowingly causes a chain reaction that puts him, Elena, and her horse in jeopardy. Not only is this a fine romance, it?sa great suspense story as Rafe uncovers secrets of the horse racing world, and the secret to Elena.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2007, American Library Association.)
