Rough Around the Edges (The Protectors, #2)

A dark warrior whose touch was as seductive as it was dangerous . . .
Alex Jamison knew at a glance that Dr. Kristen Helton spelled trouble. The emerald-eyed physician was an outsider, a rich do-gooder he expected to run when things got rough on the mean Miami streets he called home.
Kristen, however, was no quitter and insisted on joining his fight to keep kids out of trouble. But could a woman who'd always played by the rules help a renegade battle the odds and win?
She was his equal in courage and determination, a woman as stubborn as she was beautiful, but could he ask her to share a desperate struggle that risked their future, even their lives?
