FBI Agent Calder Preston asks his ex girlfriend and former agent Raine Robey for unofficial help. Though she would like to say no because he let her down when she was in official trouble, Raine knows her fledgling business Partners in Crime needs the customer. Raine agrees to look into the trouble that Hope Ensher faces or least her disabled father believes she confronts in their Jackson Motors business. Calder has an ulterior motive of wanting the woman he loves back in his life as he tries to overcome failing her when she needed him most.

Meanwhile a carjacker steals a vehicle in which model teen Megan Mulroney sleeps in the back seat. While the police conduct a manhunt for her, someone sets up Raine as pedophile killer. These two cases and that of Hope will converge in a dangerous jungle scenario.

DANGEROUS CURVES is an entertaining police procedural romance starring two wonderful protagonists of which one does not trust the other, who knows he must find a way to earn what he lost by choosing career over love. Though the various subplots eventually merge at times it becomes confusing especially the attempt to discredit Raine. The lead couple is a tremendous twosome, but the audience will really enjoy marvelous Megan, who needs her story told ten years from now in a futuristic Ford fabulous suspense thriller.
