Give Love a Chance — Dixie Lynn Dwyer

Cynthia's world is falling apart. She's lost her brother, Michael, and must now pay his debt and handle the bills he's left behind. She's tired of being hurt by men she loves but still wants to protect Michael's reputation even in death. A group of Michael's friends, Perkins, Dugen, Karl, and Merlin, have taken it upon themselves to watch out for Cynthia and act as her guardians until they can claim her as their own. They see her struggling and want to take care of her, but she resists the desire to entertain an attraction to them because she doesn't want to open her heart and get hurt. When drug dealers threaten her life to pay off Michael's debt, she is forced to clean up the mess once again. It may just cost her everything she has, but if she would only give love a chance it might turn around for her.
