"While walking her dog at midnight Carol Taggert gets shot. She doesn't remember at first how she ends up with a bullet wound in her chest.
Lee Grafton is the white police officer who shoots Carol during the shot out with criminals. He doesn't know how to tell her this especially since he is starting to fall in love with her.
Will she still want to be with him after she learns he is the one who shot her? They already have so many obstacles to over come with him being a white police officer and Carol as a African American female and also his lover.
Carol and Lee's story is one that will grip you from the beginnig to the end. You will cry and laugh with them. But their love is one you will always remember and treasure."
