Bastards and Badges

Revenge is supposed to be sweet, swift, but it’s never that simple. I’ve spent years craving it, and now that I’m finally in a position to make it happen, nothing can stop me. Enter one stripper that doesn’t fit in and everything changes. I still need revenge and to ease the ache of failure, but she makes me want something else, something I never thought possible. Now, I want a life.

Slade…As an FBI agent, I’ve sworn to uphold the law, to protect the public from the monsters of society. As a man, I’ve sworn off love and relationships. Multiple failed marriages have made me cynical and uninterested in anything beyond meaningless one-night stands. When an assignment puts me in close quarters with a feisty woman who’s been victimized, I’m forced to question everything. She’s a combination of infuriating sass and sexy as hell vulnerability, and I’m not the least bit confident in my ability to keep her in the ‘just an assignment’ category.

Jett… Being a DEA agent is all I ever wanted. Undercover work is an added bonus that gives me the excuse needed to do whatever is necessary to take down the bad guys. But when a riot breaks out in the prison I’m at, I’m torn between my mission and the pretty guard who gets caught in the crossfire. I never dreamed that, a year later, I’d end up living next door to her, let alone helping her work through her demons. All the while trying to chase away my own. The last thing I need is a woman in my life. Two years undercover has hardened me and stripped away at my soul.
