The Hood — Carin Rafferty

From the ghetto and proud of it!

Matt Cutter--A street-smart rebel. An accountant who dressed in denim and leather, he lived and worked in the mean streets of East L.A.

Doria Sinclair--A fast-track professional. An IRS agent, she made sure no one knew she came from the wrong side of the tracks.

Doria Sinclair. It was a name Matt Cutter hoped never to hear again. As a teenager, he'd almost ended up in a juvenile detention center--thanks to Doria. She'd stolen a car for a joyride, and he'd taken the rap for it.

Then she walked back into his life. Matt swore not to be suckered by her, but soon he was hot for her--again. Could Matt convince her to stop running from her past . . . and him?
