Police Detective Manolo Blahnik sees the woman dangling on a precarious ledge outside the eighth floor window and assumes suicide, probably due to man trouble. He helps Cass Richards back in and tells her no man is worth her life. She calls him an idiot for jumping to the wrong conclusion about her jumping, and instead insists she was not killing herself, but her scarf got caught and yanked her out of the window. She is thankful to be alive after the freaky accident.

Meanwhile Sam continues to search for a high class thief who burglarizes upper class homes during parties. Coincidentally Cass has been at every one of the robbery galas. As he wonders if she could be the thief, he also ponders how she purloined his heart.

ANGELS AND OUTLAWS is an interesting police procedural romance that starts off on the wrong foot when Cass follows the momentum of her designer scarf out of the window, while Manolo thinks the rich fox was trying to kill herself, probably over some male trouble. The storyline is hot and humorous as the lead duet wildly battle in and out of bed. As always Lori Wilde provides an entertaining humorous romantic suspense thriller.
