Pam Hillman

about this book: A sheriff's deputy, a former pickpocket, and a rag-tag bunch of street kids all collide on a boardwalk on a bitterly cold, snowy day in a small town on the outskirts of Chicago.

Livy O'Brien is determined to convince the street kids to come to the orphanage where they will be safe and warm; Jake Russell is equally unwavering in his desire to round them up, but not for the same reasons as Livy. He's convinced they're stealing from local merchants and wants them off his streets and out of his town.

But nothing is as it seems.

Jake is too busy to think about courting a girl, and Livy's spent her entire life running from the law, but suddenly they find themselves working together to save these kids from something even worse than being on the streets.

And somewhere along the way, Livy steals Jake's heart.
