A Class Apart

Sepia Davis is a wealthy woman and has worked hard to maintain a level head, but officer Paul Healy doesn't think so. Paul believes Sepia is a snob and just out seeking adventure when she goes on a ride along with him, but when Sepia is in danger because of something she witnessed Paul runs to her rescue and is determined to protect her at all cost.

A CLASS APART is a clash of two very different individuals over lifestyles, views, and emotions. Police officer Paul Healy, from the working class city of Crawford is focused on becoming a homicide detective. Sepia Davis, from the more affluent neighboring city of Compton, was born with the proverbial silver spoon, and for the most part is a socialite. Sepia is a also an award winning Romance writer, but is currently writing a mystery which requires assistance from the local police department.Paul is the officer assigned to assist Sepia in her research, and from their initial meeting things do not bode well. Paul's ex-wife left him and has since remarried someone in Compton who is more class-worthy. This is one of the reasons Paul's resentment for Sepia and what she represents is high. But, this attitude could jeopardize all he has worked to achieve. Sepia is a witness in a high profile killing, her safety, to Paul's dismay, becomes another part of his assignment and it increases the tension between them. But this added tension has nothing to do with his assignment or her book. When Sepia's life is threatened Paul finally admits there is something about this woman that calls to him in the most elemental way; but will he lower his resentment and listen? Angela Winters has given readers a wonderful who-dun-it, surrounded byissues which emphasize the pitfalls of stereotyping and show that love is not classified. Because of the subtle way she presents her lessons in humanity, this is more than just a quick, entertaining read.Reviewed by aNN of The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers
