Love. Honor.

Trust.



Sacrifice.



Daws, aka Sergeant Fred Dawson, U. S. Army, is a determined and highly respected leader. Called to serve in Desert Storm, he performs two impromptu rescue missions and manages to bring all of his men back home. While still haunted by the cost of his actions, he loses the most important person in his life, in an accident for which he feels partly responsible.



Deanna Meyers has had it with men. A Kentucky girl who moved to New York City to achieve her career goals, she's convinced there isn't a true loyal and honest gentleman left in the city. In the midst of trying to advance in the world of advertising where the men in charge are more interested in her other attributes than in her skills, she finds herself in another destructive relationship, this time to the possible detriment of her career.



When they run into each other at a bus stop in the pouring rain after midnight, Daws and Deanna recognize the spark of a connection that draws them toward each other the way they are both drawn to the city lights at night.
