Overview

I'll protect her-even if she hates me for it... until the day she actually needs saving. Perfect for readers who love: Dark conspiracy mysteries with emotional stakes Romantic tension without overpowering the plot Strong, unconventional heroines Protective, duty-bound heroes Stories where justice matters as much as love Pastor Jane Angieski has never fit the mold-too outspoken for church politics, too compassionate to look the other way, and too stubborn to quit when lives are on the line. When a high-profile scandal erupts inside a powerful Las Vegas mega church, Jane is pulled into an investigation far darker than corruption or infidelity. Behind the polished sermons and celebrity pastors lurks a brutal international trafficking ring-one that buys, sells, and returns unwanted children through a diabolical foreign adoption scheme. Captain Frank Morales has spent his career protecting the city from monsters. He knows exactly how dangerous this case is-and exactly how reckless Jane is being by digging into it. The attraction between them is instant. The trust is nonexistent. And the closer Jane gets to the truth, the harder Frank has to fight to keep her alive... whether she wants protecting or not. When a lost disabled child is found abandoned on the streets of Sin City, Jane and Frank are forced into an uneasy alliance. Because this isn't just one victim. It's thousands. To stop the operation, they'll have to expose powerful men, corrupt ministries, and an international pipeline that treats children like merchandise. And someone is very willing to kill to keep it buried. In a city built on secrets, faith and justice may not be enough to save them-but walking away isn't an option. Tropes include: Law Enforcement x Civilian Investigator Forced Partnership Opposites Attract (Faith vs Procedure) Slow Burn Romantic Suspense ""Stay Out of My Case"" Dynamic Protector Hero
