Kate runs a sort of halfway house for teens that have been caught up in prostitution. Rose is one of those girls and when one of her friends calls for her help, she gets captured by the man who had her trapped in that world that she never wanted to see again. Kate has to find Rose. She meets up with Wyatt, a Texas Ranger who has been assigned to look into the child prostitution rings.
Wyatt has a teenage daughter and lives with his mother. His wife was murdered 9 years ago and he blames himself. He's going to help to find Rose, but the additions of a murder, a suicide attempt and a missing girl make the case even more complicated.
I don't like to read things that are depressing or deep. I commend the author for addressing an issue that most of us would rather not believe ever happens. Unfortunately, that seems to be untrue. I just don't want to read about it.
I found the attraction between Kate and Wyatt to be somewhat unrealistic as they were supposed to be focused on finding a teen in danger and a murderer, not cooking steaks and chatting. Wyatt also seemed to not do much of anything except hang around Kate. He got information about the case, but he didn't seem to be obtaining much information on his own.
I personally was not fond of this book and quit before it continued to get more depressing. This book came out in March, so there isn't a second book at this time. I won't be seeking it out. I'll read something else instead.
