In the Shadow of the Shield

When a police officer falls, justice must be served. Donnie Massey was an honest, skilled police officer. That's probably what got him killed. When his wife Diana watches him die in front of her, the worst part is going to be telling their son, Jackson. After a year of mourning, Diana decides it's time to move on with their lives. The first step to getting closure is to visit Donnie's grave. But when she gets there, she's not alone... Good cops are rare. Carter Ryan is one of them. Mentored by Donnie, Carter is at the grave when his widow shows up. It may not be the best timing, but he needs her help. Carter admits the fallen shield may not have died in the line of duty, but was likely murdered while involved in a secret investigation with deep criminal ties. Diana agrees to aid in unveiling the truth. Donnie deserves that much. The definition of insanity... As the two work side by side, a new and delicate romance begins to bloom. But would falling for another cop be the worst mistake of Diana's life, or the best decision she's ever made? When the investigation leads them to an underground meth ring, their mission goes from risky to down right perilous. After a brush with death hits too close to home, will Diana risk loving another cop? Or will their chance at happiness be forever buried in the shadow of the shield?
