Waking up Cuffed

Sergeant Hayley Moreno knows better than anyone that being a woman in uniform means walking a tightrope between command and scrutiny. She’s worked tirelessly to earn the respect of her officers, and the last thing she can afford is to blur the lines with one of them—especially the sexy, sharp-witted Officer Warren Hathaway.

Warren has seen darkness most men couldn’t stomach, and moving to Blackjack, New Mexico, was supposed to be his reset. But his attraction to his sergeant isn’t something he can control. Every shift tests his restraint, and every brush with Hayley’s fire makes him want her more.

When the body of a young college student is found, Warren’s instincts and past experience land him on the case with the detective unit. For the first time, Hayley sees him as more than the cocky officer who gets under her skin—she sees the man capable of protecting her, of challenging her, of claiming her heart.

As the murder investigation deepens, professional boundaries blur. One night changes everything. What began as fantasy turns real, and now Hayley and Warren are forced to choose: deny what they’ve found, or risk their careers for love.

Waking Up Cuffed is a steamy, suspenseful romance that will grab fans of small-town police procedurals, strong heroines, and forbidden love stories.
