I read this one years ago (in the 90's) when black authors exploded and the romance market changed to include them. Bette Ford reminded me of Harlequin authors who had the hero and heroine have a lot of complications in their relationship. This novel had quite a lot of sex for its time. The story of a school counselor, a troubled student and that student's father. Their relationship develops after the student runs away from home.
