About this ebook
In Badge of Desire: Volume 2 - Shattered Bonds, Miranda Hollander’s world crumbles after the tragic death of her lover and partner, Mark Hunter, during a high-stakes sting operation. The rugged detective, who became her anchor and earned the affectionate title “Daddy,” is killed protecting her, leaving Miranda reeling with guilt and grief. Devastated, she discovers she’s pregnant with his child, a flicker of hope in her darkness. Unable to face the precinct without Mark, she retires, retreating into isolation as she grapples with his loss and her impending motherhood. Her daddy issues resurface, amplifying her sense of abandonment. A devastating miscarriage plunges her into a deeper depression, stripping away the last piece of Mark. Nightmares and self-blame consume her, and she hits rock bottom, neglecting herself and pushing away loved ones. A colleague’s intervention forces her into counseling, where she begins to process her pain, though her heart remains guarded. Slowly, Miranda finds a spark of purpose, deciding to return to the force to reclaim her identity. Back at work, she meets Daniel Carter, an older detective whose protective demeanor echoes Mark’s, but her walls are too high to let him in. She buries herself in cases, determined to outrun her grief. By the volume’s end, Miranda stands at a crossroads, hardened yet resilient, unaware that a new, dangerous love awaits. This volume explores her emotional descent and tentative steps toward healing, weaving suspense and heartbreak as she navigates loss, identity, and the fear of opening her heart again.
