What if saving little angels meant becoming the monster?
When Special Agent Nick McFarlane receives news that his partner of eight years is in trouble, he doesn’t hesitate. Throwing himself into a deep cover operation to expose and shut down The Micahs, a child trafficking ring, Nick enters, unprepared for the reality that awaits.
Special Agent Meredith Richards took the assignment fully aware of the consequences. Leaving her life behind, she knew she wouldn’t be able to get out with her life until she shut the Micahs down for good.
When Meredith’s informant is murdered and her contact inside the organization starts to lose control, Meredith is forced to make choices she can’t take back. On the edge of sacrificing herself, her principles, and her life, she begins to wonder if she will survive the case, or if she even wants to.

A brother’s secrets, a brother’s love
Head of security Harper Davidson is shocked when her ex’s grandmother becomes the newest resident at The Lemonade Stand shelter. The suspected abuser? The woman’s own grandson, Harper’s ex-husband. None of this makes any sense. And yet she knows his brother, Mason Thomas, would not make these accusations lightly. For her daughter’s sake, Harper agrees to help Mason uncover the truth.
Clouding the investigation is the attraction that still lingers between her and Mason—a temptation Harper won’t give in to again. Harper’s loyalty and emotions are divided once more. And when past secrets come to light, she’s not sure who to trust…

Her husband had
died at home, from kidney disease. Her son, Bruce and Mason’s father, had
passed away at home, too, from a heart attack due to being a hundred pounds
overweight—not that Harper had been there. She’d only heard about it from Bruce
when they’d met in his driveway to pass Brianna back and forth for his
bimonthly visitation overnighters.
Taking a minute to
catch her breath, on what had started out as a normal Tuesday morning in July,
Harper got a bottle of water out of the small fridge beside her desk and sipped
from it. Then she swept nervous fingers through her short blond hair and
reached for the mouse. Scrolled slowly past that photo.
Miriam had been
brought to them from the urgent care in Albina; the report didn’t say who’d
brought her in and she assumed someone from the urgent care had called The
Lemonade Stand. One of Harper’s employees—probably Sandra, who was the most
senior officer on duty the previous night—would have driven over to pick her
up. Harper would have a report on that, too.
Scrolling further,
she stopped. Stared.
Miriam’s abuser
was... Bruce Thomas?
She blinked. Read
it again. Picked up the phone and hit the first speed dial.
“Lila Mantle.” The
newly married managing director of The Lemonade Stand—a woman who’d given
Harper more courage than she knew—answered on the first ring, her tone as calm
and level as always.
Lila might smile
more readily these days and go home to her family every night, but the
fifty-three-year-old was still as dedicated, reliable and firm as she’d been
all the years Harper had known her. And, based on what she’d heard, just as
she’d been since the opening of the Stand more than a decade ago.
“Our new
resident...”
“Miriam Thomas,
yes. She’s in Bungalow 7.”
Harper could see
that. In a bedroom by herself.
“She’s HSR?” She’d
get to the Bruce mistake in a second. High Security Risk meant that someone
from Harper’s staff had to be watching her at all times.
“Yes.”
Another sip of
water went down with difficulty. The guard assignment wasn’t a problem. She’d
do it herself, for any of their residents, anytime the need was there.
What the hell had
Miriam gotten herself into since her son had died? Bruce’s father, Oscar, had
moved in with his mother after Bruce left home. Made sense, since both of them
lived alone in houses way too big for either one of them.
Miriam needed
someone to take care of. And Oscar, an Albina police captain, had worked
ungodly hours protecting the public and had wanted someone to take care of him
at home.
“Why is she HSR?”
Harper asked the question before she was ready for the answer.
“Her abuser’s a
decorated member of the Albina PD.”
Harper shook her
head. “Who?” she asked. One of Bruce’s friends? That might explain the name
mix-up.
“Her grandson.
Bruce Thomas. He works as an undercover officer and apparently has the skills
to convince anyone of anything he wants them to believe. And he has cop friends
all over the state. If he doesn’t already know where she is, we can assume he
will soon enough. He isn’t being formally accused, and the police aren’t
officially involved as of yet. No one wants to ruin a decorated public
servant’s reputation unless there’s solid proof that he’s done wrong.”
