Part of Series

At first, the changes are small. Logical. Consolidate law enforcement agencies to limit redundancy and jurisdictional wrangling. Eliminate jury trials to clear the courts’ backlog. Strengthen the social fabric by offering women incentives to marry, have children. Then the more insidious policies creep in. One by one—citing “the public good”—the men in power are stripping the rights from the female population. As the oppressive Vanguard Group tightens its grip, few recognize the danger. But not all refuse to see. The battle lines are forming. Zak Ventura is a man on a mission. The city’s most powerful prosecutor has his sights set on becoming the next District Attorney, and that’s just for a start. Only a small band of co-conspirators knows about the golden boy’s hidden life and his efforts to help the helpless. In a fast-changing world that sees women ever more oppressed, Erika Marsden is one of the few remaining female Lawmen on the force. As an undercover operative, her usual targets are degenerate criminals and corrupt officials. They aren’t men like the beefcake barrister, whose sensual kisses should be illegal. Zak is careful about who he trusts. Lives depend on it. Even so, something about the exquisite lady Lawman makes him dream of sharing his life with her, whatever the cost. Erika has never questioned the necessity of her work. But the more she learns about Zak, the more she doubts her assignment—and the lengths she’s ordered to go. Is she doing the job it takes to keep the public safe? Or will she be the downfall of a good man whose only real crime is loving her?

Author · 25 books

Fiona Roarke is a multi-published author who lives a quiet life with the exception of the characters and stories roaming around in her head. She writes about sexy alpha heroes and used them to launch her very first series, Bad Boys in Big Trouble. Next up, a new Sci-Fi contemporary romance series set in Arkansas. When she's not curled on the sofa reading a great book or at the movie theater watching the latest action film, Fiona spends her time writing about the next bad boy (or bad boy alien) who needs his story told. A hearty dose of laughter, each and every day, is required along with lots of coffee first thing in the morning as important parts of her routine.
