    NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Kathryn Shay creates a world of politics, gangs and her forte--the problems of teenagers. This is the first of five in The O’Neils series!

    “SOMEONE TO BELIEVE IN is a wonderfully written, emotional and extraordinary read and truly deserves a five-star rating.” Affaire de Coeur

    Bailey O’Neil, aka, the Street Angel, has been the arch enemy of Senator Clay Wainwright since he was a district attorney and she a young, idealistic social worker with four Irish older brothers who watch out for her. Clay put her in jail for harboring a teen offender and eleven years later, she’s a thorn in his side as an anti-gang specialist trying to get kids out of gangs. While Clay wants to put them in the hands of law enforcement, Bailey is determined to help these troubled teenagers make good lives for themselves. But when Bailey and Clay are thrown together, the impossible happens—they’re attracted to each other. Both the Street Angel and the Senator must find a way to deal with their differences in order to make a life together.

    Praise for SOMONE TO BELIEVE IN:
    "Once again, Shay shines in this starkly realistic story of gang members and people involved in prevention and intervention programs. Shay pulls no punches when describing brutal events, and secondary characters, including Clay's environmentalist son, Bailey's overprotective brothers, and Taz, a member of the notorious Good Girls gang, are especially well developed. This powerful story will stay with readers long after they finish the book.” *Starred Review* Shelley Mosley, American Library Association.

    “Shay’s writing trademark is taking seemingly impossible relationships and developing them into classic tales of true love, which is what she does here.” Fresh Fiction
    “What we get in SOMEONE TO BELIEVE IN is Clay and Bailey fighting each other in the media but heating up the sheets (or the stairs, elevators, and the walls) with love making. Talk about a hot book filled with great dialogue and love scenes.” A Reader

    Also available: the O’Neil brothers’ stories in CLOSE TO YOU, TAKING THE HEAT, HIGH STAKES and ALWAYS AND FOREVER, contemporary romances with alpha male heroes and the strong women who love them. Don’t miss these Irish romance series of novels.

    "Kathryn Shay is an awesome talent who gets better, if possible, with each new story. SOMEONE TO BELIEVE IN is a wonderfully written, emotional and extraordinary read and truly deserves a five star rating."
    Fresh Fiction
    "Shay's writing trademark is taking seemingly impossible relationships with almost insurmountable obstaxles and delveloping them into classic tales of true love, which is exactly what she does here. SOMEONE TO BELIEVE IN is another highly complex, compelling and thought-provoking novel written by one of the best."
    Melissa Nix
    "Once again, Kathryn Shay delivers a romance that is steeped in realism. Both Clay and Bailey feel like real people, who live in the same world that we do.Clay and Bailey, like all of Kathryn Shay's heroes and heroines, are not perfect, but you love them anyway. Someone To Believe In is a wonderful story of two people who's lives are different, and how love brings them together in spite of that. Kathryn Shay is quickly becoming an author whose books I can count on placing it on my keeper shelf."
    Marilyn Weigel
    "Shay has produced a smooth, evocatively written novel that tackles big issues and has substantial conflict. The believable characters and the complex, haunting plot deepen the story on every level. Because the hero and heroine have significant differences in their beliefs, the attraction between them results in an intense sexual tension that propels the reader through the novel."
    Romance Reader
    "Given their radically different viewpoints, I was worried that Shay would cop out and soften Bailey too much in order to keep her with Clay. But if she becomes a little more conservative, Clay becomes a little more liberal by the end of the book, and the epilogue shows that they’re both fighting the good fight in their own way. You’ll be rewarded with a powerful love story."
