Career trumps romance
For the last two years, Brianna Hart has focused on her career in order to forget the man who dumped her. She's a bit wary around those of the opposite gender these days, but time enough in the future to think about love and commitment. When her home is broken into, her office ransacked and her car searched the last person she wanted involved in any investigation is Detective Jake Morgan, the man who broke her heart two years ago.
To serve and protect

To his surprise, it's the woman he stopped seeing two years ago.

He wants to protect—wouldn't he do that for any citizen? But when the chips are down, he lays his heart on the line. Views: 15
