Good Cock, Bad Cop

A routine stop. A smart-mouthed stranger. One very bad decision that starts to feel dangerously like home.

State Trooper Sam Hollins knows exactly what people see when they look at him: the uniform, the boots, the attitude, and a man accustomed to being in control.

Then he finds Jerry Trent at a highway rest stop.

Jerry has just aged out of foster care with nowhere useful to go, almost nothing to his name, and a talent for making authority figures regret asking questions. Sam intends to deal with him, feed him, and point him toward something resembling a future.

Taking him home was never part of the plan.

Neither was wanting him.

As temporary shelter turns into breakfasts, house rules, arguments, clean clothes, bad jokes, and the unfamiliar comfort of having someone waiting at home, Sam finds himself caught between the man he wants to protect and the man he cannot stop wanting.

Jerry has spent too long learning that everything comes with a price.

Sam may be the first man who gives him something without asking for payment.

That only makes Jerry want to give him something anyway.
