Colton Dawson is a highly skilled detective in Miami, Florida. His colleagues attribute his success to his intelligence and charm, but the truth is a lot more perplexing: Colton has a hidden, paranormal ability to read minds.
This superpower has its obvious advantages, but Colton has lived with it long enough to have experienced the adverse effects of such a turbulent power.
A series of events causes Colton's downward spiral into darkness. At the age of thirty, he is miserable and desolate. He feels as if he's on a fast-sinking ship. Can Colton swim safely back to shore, or will he sink lifelessly into the deep depths of the ocean, leaving behind a mere legacy, that will soon be forgotten?

Chicago Beat - London Heart [ Antonio Dawson ]
Detective Antonio Dawson is a seasoned member of the Chicago Police Department's Intelligence Unit, known for his dedication, tenacity, and unshakable moral compass. He's faced some of the city's toughest criminals and darkest secrets, but nothing prepared him for the arrival of Officer Emily Bennett-a patrol officer from England with a past she's determined to leave behind. Emily Bennett transferred to Chicago PD to escape the shadows of a tragic incident in London that left her questioning her purpose. She wanted a fresh start, and the bustling, gritty streets of Chicago seemed like the perfect place to find it. With her sharp instincts, no-nonsense attitude, and British wit, she quickly earns the respect of her peers, though her methods sometimes clash with the local way of policing. When a string of violent crimes threatens to tear apart Chicago's immigrant communities, Antonio and Emily are partnered to bring down the elusive mastermind behind the chaos. Despite their initial differences-Antonio's steady, methodical approach contrasts with Emily's impulsive, emotionally-driven style-their shared commitment to justice and protecting the vulnerable draws them closer together. As the investigation intensifies, so does the undeniable chemistry between them. Emily finds herself captivated by Antonio's quiet strength and deep compassion, while Antonio is drawn to Emily's fiery spirit and the vulnerability she hides beneath her tough exterior. But both carry emotional scars-Antonio from a complicated family life and a recent heartbreak, and Emily from the traumatic events she fled in England. As they work side by side, they slowly begin to break down each other's walls, discovering a connection that neither expected nor thought possible.Complete

Agent With a Shotgun
"If I agree to help you, and when we get Wilkins, I don't want to see you again. I want to move on from all of this. You won't show up at my house again." Celia looked at Amelia with her brows furrowed, unsure of why she would set those as her terms to help Colton. Colton closed his eyes and sighed, "Fine, I promise that once this is all over, you'll never have to see me or any of this again." He fought to keep his voice steady. He didn't expect those to be Amelias' terms for helping him either, and if he was being completely honest, it hurt him to hear her say she never wanted to see him again. He should've expected it though, he did turn his back on her along with everyone else all those years ago. But he had reason behind it, he just couldn't tell her. Not now at least.

✨COMPLETED✨ I took a few steps before I stopped to face him again. "Jay?" I said, barely above a whisper. "Hmm?" "I love you. You know that right?" I asked, kind of unsure. "of course.

He needs to understand that I don't have a choice. Or do I? "I do too. But...Why are you saying it like that?" He asked, feeling a little anxious. "Like what?" I replied, praying to dear God he doesn't say something that'll make me cry. "Like you're saying goodbye." 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Alexis Pierce is just another high school clumsy story.
