Checkmate Series

Kane Bishop is everything women are warned about. He’s a professional enforcer for a dangerous cartel built upon drugs, guns, and violence, and according to the files littering my desk, it’s a sure bet he boasts a body count that has nothing to do with the women who’ve passed through his bed. I should know better than to step into his world. God knows my law degree vouches for the fact I have a brain and a modicum of common sense. And yet, here I am, hiding from my cop brother and half naked in Kane’s apartment while he stitches me up and we both pretend we aren’t desperate for a way out.

When the person you love most is hurt, a man discovers who he truly is—down to the bone. Will he protect her? Can he make it right? Will he go as far as it takes… or prove he’s nothing but talk? Because the truth is simple: if he chooses not to fight for her, he never really loved her at all. A man who loves with his whole heart knows no limits. There’s no line too dark. No such thing as “too far.” There’s only her. And her pain is his to carry—even if she never knows he was the one who bled for her.

Rookie. Baby-face. Junior. Riley Cruz has heard it all. At thirty-one, he’s the youngest recruit on the force, but his quiet nature and boyish looks make him easy to dismiss. What no one realizes is that Riley isn’t as innocent as he seems. Recruited by powerful players in law enforcement, he’s pulled into a covert team of agents who blur the line between justice and corruption. Now Riley is straddling two worlds—cop and agent, right and wrong—and he may be hiding the darkest secrets of them all.
