Ambushed — Lisa Walker

Although he was born and raised in small-town, rural Ohio, Jericho Nash quickly fell in love with New York City. After a few years, however, his life took a downward spiral. A chance encounter with a stunning beauty and he began to believe his luck was finally turning around. But once he stepped outside, the harsh reality of the cold city streets swallowed him whole. He woke up the next day in the hospital. With a terrible headache. Along with the horrible feeling he lost everything. He gave his statement to the police and waited. Life had to go on. While dealing with the remnants of a life he wished he never wanted, he obsessively searched for the stunning beauty. But one cab ride home, and a detour, changed his life forever. When he went to the police to tell them what he had learned, the investigating officer closed his file. And Jericho left empty-handed. He didn't know what to do with these bad feelings. He felt like he was carrying around the weight of the world. And when he thought he was going to lose his mind, he finds the most unlikely ally--a partner willing to help him in his quest for justice--not realizing this mission would lead him down a darker path.
