He's a methodical intelligence specialist with a criminal family legacy. She's an honest detective fighting systematic police corruption. When her own department tries to kill her for investigating gang protection networks, their alliance for justice ignites into explosive passion. Detective Claire Martell has dedicated her career to serving justice-until she discovers that her own colleagues are protecting the gang operations she's trying to eliminate.
When corrupt officers escalate to assassination attempts and evidence keeps disappearing from police files, she's forced to seek help from the most dangerous intelligence operative in Louisiana. Samuel "Roux" Boudreaux is the Secretary of the Bayou Serpents MC, a former crime family member who broke away from organized crime to protect vulnerable communities. When police corruption threatens the neighborhoods under club protection, it becomes personal.
The last thing he expects is a fierce detective willing to work with outlaws to expose the truth. From the first explosive confrontation, Roux and Claire are drawn together by shared fury and impossible attraction. She's everything he shouldn't want-a law enforcement officer who could expose everything he's built. He's everything she should fear-a man who solves problems with systematic violence instead of legal procedure.
But when Captain Matt Thomas's corruption network declares war on honest cops and protected families, Roux and Claire must choose between playing it safe and protecting the innocent. Their battle will take them from police evidence warehouses to corrupt courthouse showdowns, testing both their courage and their growing love. In the sultry darkness of post-hurricane Louisiana, two people from opposite sides of the law will risk everything for justice-and each other.
