Sheriff’s Deputy Jake Kermarrec has a strict interpretation of right and wrong, and if you end up in jail, justice obviously prevailed. Being a cop is what he knows, and the only thing he aspires to. When he’s a hero and his career is at risk, he turns to Marlee Cruiz for relief. Their physical attraction becomes harder to ignore with each session of massage, despite the rules and secrets between them.
The closer they become, though, the harder it is for either of them to turn away. As Marlee’s past slowly unravels, Jake finds himself questioning his rigid beliefs, even as his friends and family begin to question his judgment. The more shocking the news, the more excuses he finds himself making on her behalf. When it counts, will he put his commitment to protect and serve on the line for Marlee?
