As a widowed single mother, Specials Ops Agent Cameron Cruz's whole world is caring for her newborn son and working with her team to shut down a human trafficking operation out of San Francisco Bay. All of that changes late one night when Cameron chases down a cop-killer, only to discover the shooter is none other than Diego. The man she loves. The father of her child. The officer she believed was killed while working undercover.
Even as the evidence against Diego mounts—that he's guilty of kidnapping, corruption, and worse—Cameron is driven to clear his name. If only so she can trust the affection for him that still stirs deeply within her. But trust is not easy to come by as Cameron's investigation leads straight to her own department, and to a discovery that brings her one step closer to the truth. And even closer to being stopped dead in her tracks . . .
