Female cop's courage entwines love and danger.

If you thrive on a blend of heart-pumping suspense and romance that blossoms amid chaos, Nora Roberts' "High Noon" could captivate you. Phoebe's tale isn't just about defusing tense situations professionally; it's about confronting personal fears and vulnerabilities. Roberts crafts a narrative that's as much about the thrills of high-stakes police work as it is about the softening boundaries around a fiercely independent heart.

It's exactly that heady combination of steely courage and sensitivity that first attracts Duncan Swift to Phoebe. After observing her coax one of his employees down from a roof ledge, he is committed to keeping this intriguing, take-charge woman in his life. She's used to working solo, but Phoebe's discovering that no amount of negotiation can keep Duncan at arm's length.
