Scottie McArdle had a police officer's pedigree.  The blue was in her blood, her devotion was to the badge.  There was nothing else in her life but the People of New York City, until the day she found herself in the line of a different kind of duty; meeting a man who wanted her to protect him from himself, to serve his need not to die alone.  In exchange she would have wealth, power, children, but no love.  Could she give up all...for one?
