Nobody's Hero

Rick Ranière is a rapper working outside the mainstream, known for lyrics that treat women badly and for a rule about never trusting them. When he meets Carolyn Coffman, a successful writer of a best-selling book, she is unlike any woman he has encountered, and she is wary of him from the start. Their paths keep crossing in Manhattan, where the city's towering buildings and shifting winds seem to throw them together. Rick is stuck on new material, and Carolyn is the only fan of his who won't sleep with him, which might help him. Then a sudden surge of attention pushes his songs up the charts and paints Carolyn as a hypocrite to her readers, forcing her to choose between her career and the man she is falling for.
