Slade's Fall: Bastards and Badges (Bastards and Badges #2)

Slade…
As an FBI agent, I’ve sworn to uphold the law, to protect the public from the monsters of society. As a man, I’ve sworn off love and relationships. Multiple failed marriages have made me cynical and uninterested in anything beyond meaningless one-night stands. When an assignment puts me in close quarters with a feisty woman who’s been victimized, I’m forced to question everything. She’s a combination of infuriating sass and sexy as hell vulnerability, and I’m not the least bit confident in my ability to keep her in the ‘just an assignment’ category.

Brandie…
I’ve always been a bit of a wild child, a temptress of fate. That all comes to a screeching halt when I’m used to pay off my boss’s debt. I’m held for months and forced to serve my new master. When I’m rescued, all I want to do is go home and try to live as normal a life as possible. Unfortunately, being rescued doesn’t mean I’m safe. My life remains in constant danger, and I’m forced to rely on an FBI agent who pushes my buttons and makes me feel things in a way that should be impossible with what I’ve been through.
