"I don't kneel for anyone-but I'd kneel for you." Behind the Badge is a gritty, slow-burn romance about two women bound by a shared past and an uncertain future. Zaya Morales, a former gang member rebuilding her life after prison, wants nothing more than peace and distance from everything she left behind. Kamala Harris, a high-profile figure in law enforcement, has spent her career chasing justice-and once played a role in locking Zaya away. But when a string of targeted killings pulls them back into each other's orbit, desire and distrust begin to blur. As secrets unravel and lines are crossed, Kamala and Zaya are forced to confront not just the danger closing in-but the undeniable pull between them. Tense, emotional, and full of fire, Behind the Badge is a story about second chances, forbidden love, and what happens when you fall for the last person you were supposed to.
