Detective Rose is smart, driven, and determined to prove herself in the male-dominated world of law enforcement. Paired with the seasoned and enigmatic Detective Phoenix Hart, she's thrust into the gritty underbelly of a city teeming with crime. Phoenix is everything Rose isn't-hardened, jaded, and suspicious of the world around him. He's also devastatingly attractive and maddeningly difficult to read.
As they tackle case after case, their undeniable chemistry creates as much tension as the dangerous criminals they pursue. Each mystery unravels dark secrets, not only about the suspects but about themselves, forcing Rose and Phoenix to confront their own pasts and the growing connection between them.
But in a world where every choice could mean life or death, can they trust each other enough to keep their guard down-or will the walls they've built keep them from the truth, and each other?
"Cross Fire" is a gripping blend of suspense, crime-solving, and slow-burning romance that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

Spying On My Boss |REWRITING|
REWRITTEN AS "HER SECRET INVESTIGATION" A series of past murders catch the attention of the police and the media. All the people who were killed were women, all of which had some sort of relationship with a well known and successful businessman named Asriel Parker. For some reason, the murders all point to him as the number one suspect and connection between them. The reasonable thing to do is to put him behind bars but there is one problem. "Everyone is innocent in the eyes of the law until proven guilty." There isn't a shred of evidence that actually pinpoints Asriel Parker as the culprit. With that statement in mind, Selena March, a good police officer and detective is sent undercover as his live-in Personal Assistant to dig up whatever information she can use to put the murderer behind bars. Selena has no idea what she signs up for but she knows for a fact that falling in love is not part of the whole 'undercover' mission. **** This is my first wattpad book and unfortunately, it was not really planned but I still enjoyed writing it and developing my writing skills while I was at it😊.

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.
