When it came to cartoon dragons, film animator Maureen Ryan knew exactly how to cope. But when her teenaged daughter dragged home a "hero" in the form of Police Captain Tony DiRocco, Maureen was miffed. An artist and passionate defender of causes, she "knew" about men in blue. Faster than a speeding bullet, Tony rented her downstairs apartment...moved into her private life. For years she'd been fiercely independent. Why was she shaking in her high-fashion boots? Had times really changed? Were there new roles, new rules? Was Tony a fire-breathing dragon? Or a White Knight in shining armor come to rescue an obstinate "maiden," too proud to admit she wasn't distress?
