Taken By Storm Interwoven with the investigative action and Delta's turbulent emotions is a revealing, delicate relationship with Megan Osbourne, a prostitute, who holds a tiny piece of the puzzle Delta is trying to fit together. As the two women struggle to break preconceived notions and overcome the stigmas attached to their opposing professions, they soon forge a love that bridges their dichotomous worlds.
