Fortunately, she's got sexy bodyguard Cade, and Eli, her new online chat buddy, to take her mind off things. One has the looks, the other has the voice, and both make her heart do backflips. But Ishmael's world of sunshine and rainbows can't last forever, and when the city reveals its dark side, friendships new and old are put to the test in a race for survival.
