Saving Doctor James

“You’re under arrest!”

There’s a new drug dealer in town and Katie’s latest drug bust sends a clear message that she's out to catch him. Detective Andy Farrow of the NYPD thinks Katie is doing a great job and would be the best person to lead the investigation. Except for one problem…

Katie is not a cop.

Thirty-two-year-old Katie Baur had always dreamed of becoming a police officer. All her life, that’s what she’s ever wanted – that and having a family of her own. However, her boyfriend of seven years refuses to commit and have children and worse, disapproves of her entering the academy. Working at a local diner owned by a feisty second-generation German immigrant, Katie re-lives her dreams by playing vigilante in the streets of Brooklyn whenever she isn’t running errands aboard a truck that’s nearly falling apart.

But when Katie’s younger brother introduces her to his fiancé, Katie suspects something is wrong and is determined to uncover the truth. Forced to work with her estranged father, she gets into a series of trouble, from nearly burning down a hotel to being sold to a Russian mafia. To make matters more complicated, Katie finds herself drawn to the already married Detective. With only two weeks to prove her intuition correct, Katie must do everything she can to save her brother from making the biggest mistake of his life … even at the cost of her own.
