As they work through clues and the pressure of law enforcement, a “pesky attraction” begins to grow and challenges their friendship. The narrative balances mystery, teamwork, and emotional choices, while also highlighting family values and the pursuit of love and happiness.","Cami flung herself at Jax.  \n“Thank you,” the little girl said, squeezing as hard as a four-year-old could manage. His heart melted, and he crouched down to envelop her. When Brie cleared her throat, he stood.  \n“It’s time to get ready for bed,” Brie announced.  \n“Oh, Mommy. Do I have to?”  \nBrie nodded.“You do. Go get in your jammies and I’ll tell you a story.”“Can Jax read to me tonight?”  \nIf his heart hadn’t already been lost to this little girl, her invitation finished the job.“Um…sure,” Brie said. “I’ll clean up in the kitchen while you’re reading.”  \nHe watched Cami race from the room. Panic set in.“Brie, I’ve never read to a child. I don’t…”  \nShe laughed. “It’s not rocket science.”  \n“But it’s important.”  \nBrie slipped her hand in his and gave an affectionate squeeze.“Just use funny voices. And read the bunny book. It’s her favorite.”  \nHe smiled.  \n“I’m ready!” Cami’s muffled voice came from the other side of the house.  \nBrie pointed in the direction of her daughter ’s bedroom.“You can do this, hero.”  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nDear Reader,  \nI have always loved watching police procedural television shows. Whether it’s seeing how criminals are apprehended or solving the mystery behind a crime, I’m glued to the screen until there are answers.  \nNow, in my favorite town of Golden, I’ve brought together two officers who are investigating a crime. It’s always fun to decide what the offense will be and how the criminal will pull it off. But from the law enforcement angle, it’s challenging to take all the information and figure out who did it.  \nEnter Briana Connelly and Jax Walker, who have been friends their entire lives. This is the first time they are working as partners. And while both are excited about the prospect of serving and protecting together, a pesky attraction starts to simmer between them. What will that do to their friendship? Will it affect how they work on the case? All reasonable questions that they must navigate while on the trail of the suspect.  \nSit back, put your feet up, and join Briana and Jax as they work as a team, fighting crime in the mountain town I love, while juggling life, love and happiness.  \nHappy Reading!
