**A deadly new drug epidemic puts an ER doctor in danger: "A perfect blend of romance and suspense. My kind of read." Sandra Brown, #1 New York Timesbestselling author of Thick as Thieves

Dr. Cassandra Hart is fighting a war. And losing. Her Pittsburgh ER has been deluged by young patients who've overdosed on a new drug called FX. After Cassie discovers that the source of the FX on the streets is her own hospital, her best friend is killed and Cassie's life is threatened. She has no choice but to place her trust in Detective Mickey Drake.

Drake's irascible charm eventually penetrates the barriers Cassie has built around herself, and their relationship progresses from professional to passionate. After Cassie discovers the truth behind the thefts, she and Drake must confront a killer. In the end, their only weapons are their newfound love and the courage that it gives them . . .
