Burnout: a Legal Heat Novella
“The hint of vulnerability in Sophie’s voice sent Ace’s pulse skyrocketing. He wanted to go down to the station and teach them all a goddamn lesson about the true meaning of justice and then another lesson for breaking Sophie’s faith in the system. Her disillusionment made his heart ache. No way would he let her break the law and throw away her career.
“Not gonna happen,” he said, his voice gruff. “Any law breaking will be done by me.”
Although he hated to admit it, she had what it took ...to be a good cop—a respect for the law, a good heart, and a sense of fair play. If there had been more cops like her when he was growing up, maybe he wouldn’t have chosen the biker life. But every time he’d reached out, he was pushed back into a system. His cries for help were ignored. Abused and alone, he’d quickly learned that there was no point calling 911. Invariably, the police would turn him over to social services, and they, in turn, would send him back to the family that had abused him, or place him with a new foster family often worse than the one he’d been with before.MoreLess
