With a body like mine, it's a bit like cheating. It's too damn easy. From the beginning, I've followed my own code. Rule one: Never fall in love with a good f*ck. They'll only let you down. Trust me. I've had my fair share of hardships. Rule two: Always go back for seconds. Easy as pie. "On your knees with your hands behind your back." There wasn't any warning about a girl like her. My Virginia. She's the most beautiful woman in this dive bar. Her smile pushes me over the edge. Her body sends shivers down my spine. I have to pull out every trick in the book to get a chance to talk to her. I'm going to make her tremble and quake. There's one major problem. She has something to do with those robberies. But I can't stop thinking about the way that woman f*cks. She's been playing me for a fool. One night in that interrogation room and I'll have her begging for forgiveness. She should have known. Never fall in love with a man in uniform. **MARSHALL is a standalone, full length bad boy novel with a HEA and absolutely NO CLIFFHANGERS!**

Most Wanted: Pursuing Whitey Bulger, the Murderous Mob Chief the FBI Secretly Protected
Thomas J. Foley - 2012
Foley’s twenty-year pursuit of murderous Boston gangster Whitey Bulger, and of Foley’s key role in exposing the FBI’s protection of Bulger’s criminal empire.June 23, 2011. The news of the notorious gangster Whitey Bulger’s capture—after sixteen years on the FBI’s Most Wanted list—swept the nation. Many breathed a sigh of relief. But for Thomas J. Foley, a former Massachusetts state police colonel and the investigator who sparked Bulger’s flight from Boston, the moment was bittersweet. The FBI may have caught Bulger, but as Foley had painfully discovered almost two decades before, they were also responsible for his escape. It has been known that Whitey Bulger was a secret informant for the FBI, but it has never been revealed—until now—that the FBI was actually actively protecting Bulger from Foley, effectively derailing Foley’s efforts to stop Bulger’s horrific crime sprees time and again. At one point, the FBI even presented Foley with a plaque at a holiday party that read “the Most Hated Man in Law Enforcement,” a not-so-subtle suggestion that he and his team should lay off their investigation. Most Wanted is a true-life thriller, and Foley is the hero at its center. His investigative efforts resulted in criminal convictions of a half-dozen of Boston’s most notorious thugs and also led to the conviction of John Connolly, one of the FBI agents who abetted Bulger; Connolly is now serving a forty-year prison sentence. In this book, Foley, a cop’s cop, honestly recounts how his wide-eyed admiration for the nation’s top law enforcement agency was gradually transformed by dark realities he didn’t want to believe.
Night Shift
Lauren Milson - 2019
They’re my dad’s best friends - and my first crushes. That’s right - I have two first crushes. Officers Jonathan Myers and Maxwell Drake. The co-stars of all my deepest, craziest fantasies. Jonathan is the dark, quiet one. The one who makes my mouth water and my belly melt when he looks at me. Maxwell is the confident, demanding one. He makes me want to do things I’d never breathe a word of. I left my small town to make it as an actress in L.A. When Jonathan and Maxwell left town years ago, I was crushed. But now I’m back - and so are they. And they look better than ever. Two hard bodies. Two sets of smoldering eyes. Two big…night sticks. My two dirty little secrets, my two first crushes. And when I finally admit that I’ve always wanted them, craved them, longed for them - they promise they’re going to be my firsts in exactly the way I’ve always dreamed of. Hold on tight! This book does not contain violence, but does contain mild depictions of two hot cops showing the bad guys who’s in charge. And not-so-mild depictions of two hot cops showing their woman *exactly* who’s in charge (with no MM scenes - this is all about her). And crazy-hot depictions of all the other stuff you know you want. This book is part of the “Night” series but each is a stand-alone and they can be read in any order. Enjoy! xx, Lauren
