BABYBOOT Book ONE in the Boot Series Hazel Nolan knew her first day as a rookie cop would be intense. She didn't expect to wake up next to a stranger - or for that stranger to turn out to be her training officer. What was supposed to be a one-night mistake turns into something much more complicated when Officer Tim Bradford is assigned to oversee her every move on the job. He's disciplined, coldly professional, and determined to act like that night never happened. But Hazel can't forget it - not the way he looked at her, not the way her heart still races whenever he's near. She's already under pressure. One of the only women in uniform. The daughter of another rookie. Every shift is a fight to be taken seriously. And now she has to do it while keeping her biggest secret in check... and her feelings even tighter. But danger doesn't wait. The streets don't care about boundaries. And as the tension between them builds, so does the risk of crossing a line that could cost them both everything. Bold, emotional, and burning with slow-burn chemistry, Baby Boot is perfect for fans of The Rookie, forbidden romance, and strong women finding their place in a world that wasn't built for them - and breaking every rule to claim it anyway.
