As she makes her way into the business she swore to help tear down, she's faced with the dilemma of choosing between being loyal to her profession or her heart. And we all know it can't be both.

A quick and enjoyable read that refused to follow the route I expected, zigging when I expected it to zag. - BigAl from BigAl's Books and Pals
