Characters: Jacob Cade & Kate Walker. He is her best friend's uncle. She's been secretly in love with him for years, but his misconception of her as 'easy' has kept them at each other's throats. Despite that, he wants her too much to stay away, so he follows her to Chicago where she works as a journalist. Kate would rather take one night with him than nothing. His ardor leaves him insensitive to her inexperience and gives her nothing but bitter disappointment. To forget, she takes on dangerous assignments on the police beat. Jacob wants to make amends, but the night he finally summons the courage to face her, she gets shot on the job.

I love the misunderstanding and the passion that bring these two characters together and tear them apart. It's always great to see a romance hero going through hell to make up for his judgement errors and win the love of his woman.
