JEANNE ST. JAMES (Cont.) MARC: Brothers in Blue, Book Two BLURB EXCERPT Officer Marc Bryson doesn’t believe women should be in law enforcement. When his brother, Max, is pro- moted to the small town’s police chief the first thing he does is hire a woman fresh out of the academy. Then makes Marc her Field Training Officer. Determined to follow in her late father’s footsteps, Leah Grant has the moxie to break any glass ceiling that stands in the way from becoming a police officer. Even if that means proving to her coach—who only wants her in his bed and not in the field—she’s worthy of being a per- manent member of the force. Working in a man’s world, Leah challenges Marc’s misconceptions about women in the line of duty. But as they struggle to separate their work life from their unde- niable chemistry, things continue to steam up. These two officers of the law must toe the line after being caught red-handed. Leah swallowed hard as her new supervisor strapped himself into the driver’s seat. He started the Ford and checked the side mirrors before adjusting the rearview mirror by a smidgeon. The first day on any job was always nerve-wracking, but when you were a rookie police officer, everything seemed a thousand times worse. It was to be expected that there would be more than normal pressure on her due to being a female. And she was joining an all-male department. Leah was okay with working with all men, though, and actually preferred it. She hated female work drama. However, she wasn’t quite sure they were going to be fine with working with her. Leah straightened her spine. Tough shit. They’d have to accept it. She worked her ass off in the academy and graduated at the top of her class. She even gave a speech at graduation. Fuck the haters. And no doubt there were plenty, even during the academy. Fair? No. However, life wasn’t fair, and unfortunately, she was entering a male- dominated career. But following in her father’s footsteps was important to her. The hell if she was about to let some arrogant, but admittedly hot, corporal ruin it for her.
