Royal Hastings has been a cop, first and foremost, for most of her adult life. So, when a call-out goes wrong and her partner ends up in hospital, she finds herself suspended from the job, indefinitely. With too much time on her hands and a heavy load of guilt weighing her down, she seeks solace in oblivion—otherwise known as a golden-eyed bartender with a rap sheet as long as her arm. Asa Cross has spent his live on the wrong side of the law, but a near death experience has left him rebuilding his life and relationships. But being good is tougher than it seems—especially when being bad looks as good as Royal does. On paper, the cop and the con seemed doomed to heartbreak—but when love has stolen your heart, how can you walk away?
