In His Custody

So why does the new substitute history teacher have to be dangerous, raw, and challenging—on every level? His uncompromising masculinity and questioning mind captivate Mercy, tempting her to risk her heart. Detective Aidan Shaw is a cynical bastard, trusting nobody outside his family and fellow cops.

Mercy’s warmth and generous spirit awaken a part of him buried deep for too long. But how can Aiden remain undercover and not betray the woman he’s come to cherish? As he closes in on the criminals manipulating innocents for profit, the stakes grow ever higher—with deadly consequences.
