The Heat of Angels — Lisa Girolami

In the City of Angels, K9 police officer Chris Bergstrom keeps herself safe by following her instincts. Across town, Sarah Pullman also lives by her instincts since that horrible day when her life was almost snuffed out. When they meet, their attraction is stronger than anything they've ever experienced. But Chris's black-and-white world view clashes with Sarah's all gray world of identity confusion and distrust. They'll need more than their gut feelings to navigate the fragile relationship they so intensely desire.

Set against the turbulent backdrop of Los Angeles during fire season, Chris and Sarah struggle with the realities of their pasts and the necessity of defying their long-standing beliefs. In order to overcome their conflicts, they will have to step out of their self-imposed cocoons, take a real look at themselves, and find the strength to walk through the fire.
