Publisher's Synopsis
What happens when a person walks into your life and you know he is the one you're going to marry? Cory Ford wasn't expecting to be blindsided by love, and certainly not with a man like Raphael Robinson, handsome, sexy and black. Race is not an issue with them, because where love lives the heart rules. But not everyone feels the same. Her parents disown her, landlords won't rent to them, and Cory is forced out of her teaching job by angry white parents. But they marry believing their love is strong enough to survive anything. Raph, however, is in demand as a model. At first his future is red hot, but that's short-lived. After the first flush of success, the offers dry up, and all he has to look forward to is a career as a porn star. He walks away. And then he disappears. Cory doesn't know that he has been savagely attacked, his handsome face slashed to ribbons, and his memory gone. He survives on the streets, begging for enough money for a cup of coffee or a candy bar. Cory refuses to believe Raph has left her, and after two months with no word from him, Cory decides to find him. It's a gutsy move, because she will have to survive in the underbelly of the big city. She soon learns how rough life on the streets can be. Raph's memory returns and he is bent on revenge. While he is searching for his assailant, Cory is searching for him, and their paths cross often, but always too late. What does Raph do when he finds the man who cut away his face? Do the lovers reconnect?
