Book Description

Alexander Hamilton, a second-generation law enforcement officer is deeply ingrained in the fabric of the law. Raised beneath the enduring shadow of his father, a steadfast small-town police chief, Hamilton's life has been molded by relentless scrutiny, exacting standards, and towering expectations. However, an unforeseen injury sustained in the line of duty thrusts him into a realm far darker and more illicit than his father ever confronted. Amidst the outskirts of town, Molli Sitara finds herself entangled in the gritty world of illegal and illicit activities. The allure of quick money and easy access to drugs draws her into a life of loveless transactions. Yet, her reality takes a perilous turn when an ill-fated night brings her face-to-face with a formidable figure—Officer Hamilton. With his piercing green eyes and a tangled history, Hamilton's presence stirs up memories of their shared past, where love and passion were once shared. As their worlds collide once more, Hamilton discovers that Molli is not only caught in the crosshairs of her own precarious choices but also targeted by a ruthless cartel captain and former lover. Fueled by a desire to safeguard Molli and driven by an unwavering commitment to justice, Hamilton must navigate the treacherous line between his duty as an officer and the growing passion he feels for his first love. Racing against time, he's forced to confront the shadows of his town, unraveling a web of corruption that threatens to consume everything he holds dear, all while protecting the one woman who has ignited his heart again.
