Chicago Beat - London Heart [ Antonio Dawson ] by SpectralInk

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.

Free on Wattpad. ********** A GOOD MAN, FALLING APART Small town police officer Simon Labelle repressed his attraction to sexy shopgirl Leona Chaisty for years. He's good at controlling his feelings--or he used to be, before the bombing that he can't solve, that he should have prevented. Now, after a chance encounter with Leona at the lake, Simon can't get her out of his head. All those high school fantasies roar to life. A BAD GIRL, WISHING FOR MORE Leona is drawn to the intensity in Simon's pretty-boy blue eyes, but he's a good man, and she's not just hopelessly kinky--she'll never know how to love. Still, unlike everyone else, Simon acts like she might actually have a heart. The more time they spend together, the more she wishes he were right. A CHALLENGE NEITHER CAN RESIST After a second unsolved case pulls them together, their sexual chemistry rattles them both, and hints at an unsettling fetish that Simon struggles to suppress. Leona pushes Simon to decide what he wants--whether to dominate, submit, or some mix of both--while Simon, already falling for his dream girl, finally gets her to admit that she's lonely. Each challenges the other to reveal more, to cede control, to be vulnerable. But they're both more fragile than they appear. It's only a matter of time before one pushes too hard, and the other breaks. ********** Trigger warnings for depression, suicidal ideation, and possibly alcoholism. Significant child abuse (neglect only) is also part of a character's backstory. There is gender-bending, femdom, and a pretty scary control-based fetish. There is also off-screen violence and death, and mild on-screen violence.
