Dare to Love Again

Heart of San Francisco Series

Book Two

A sassy socialite burned by love.

A jaded cop burned by the upper class.

Where’s there’s smoke, there’s fire …

and a whole lot of sparks!

In book 2 of the “Heart of San Francisco” series, Spunky Allison McClare is determined to be a fearless, independent woman, resorting to a mammoth hat pin for protection on her way to and from the school where she teaches. But when she takes a notion to explore the wild Barbary Coast she quickly discovers she is no match for rum-soaked brute strength.

Detective Nick Barone would rather do almost anything than teach this sassy socialite jiu-jitsu, but it seems he has little choice in the matter. Sparks fly every time the two meet until a grudging friendship develops into something deeper. But when Nick suddenly leaves town, Allison realizes he’s a fraud just like all the rest of the men she’s cared for. Does she dare love again?
