The Price of Power

Los Angeles, 1963. Detective Sergeant Katherine "Kate" Butler has spent three years outrunning the past. Now the past wants her back.When Kate is handed the cold case of Jack Tierney-the partner and fiancé she lost on the eve of their wedding-she expects grief. She doesn't expect missing reports, falsified evidence, or proof that Jack was ambushed by men wearing badges.Her new captain, Justin "Dare" Darington, is wealthy, charming, infuriating-and certain women don't belong in Homicide. But Kate's instincts are as sharp as her tongue, and the deeper they dig, the harder it becomes for Dare to deny either her talent or the dangerous pull between them.Someone inside the LAPD buried the truth once, and they'll kill to keep it buried. To expose the conspiracy, Kate and Dare must decide who they can trust-and whether the fragile spark growing between them can survive the final reckoning.
