SIX BROTHERS EACH HOLDING A DIFFERENT BADGE OF THE LAW EACH SWORN TO SERVE AND PROTECT prom-ise: assure someone that one will definitely do, give, or arrange something; undertake or declare that something will happen. NYPD Officer Ryker Cunningham comes from a family of men committed to upholding every letter of the law. But when he crosses paths with MaryAnn Glover, a troubled woman who not only tempts his heart but also his self-control, his need to protect her overrides everything he's ever believed in. With a promise to keep her safe at any cost, Ryker shows MaryAnn what it means to live without fear...and love without regret. PLEASE NOTE: This is a novella, consisting of approximately 38,000 words. The Officer's Promise is not only Ryker and MaryAnn's story but an introduction to the Brothers in Blue Series as well. The remaining five books of the series will be full-length novels. Each book will feature one of the six Cunningham brothers. I highly recommend you read them in order as the characters will overlap throughout each individual story. The Officer's Promise is written from dual POV, with an HEA and no cheating.

Equal parts Sherlock Holmes and P.G.

Charles Lenox, Victorian gentleman and armchair explorer, likes nothing more than to relax in his private study with a cup of tea, a roaring fire and a good book. But when his lifelong friend Lady Jane asks for his help, Lenox cannot resist the chance to unravel a mystery. Prudence Smith, one of Jane's former servants, is dead of an apparent suicide. But Lenox suspects something far more sinister: murder, by a rare and deadly poison. The grand house where the girl worked is full of suspects, and though Prue had dabbled with the hearts of more than a few men, Lenox is baffled by the motive for the girl's death. When another body turns up during the London season's most fashionable ball, Lenox must untangle a web of loyalties and animosities. Was it jealousy that killed Prudence Smith? Or was it something else entirely? And can Lenox find the answer before the killer strikes again—this time, disturbingly close to home?
