Detective Killian Jones took an indefinite leave of absence from SBPD after his brother was murdered in the Line of Duty. Bitter and broken, he resides in a cabin on the beach when his brother's former partner, David Nolan brings him a case he knows the vengeful detective won't be able to resist.

But she second guesses herself when her colleague, Graham Humbert, is killed in cold blood by the man who was freed because of a decision she made as a juror. Now her squeaky clean reputation is questioned when she becomes a suspect for Graham's murder. There is one detective who knows she's innocent, and he has a plan to protect Emma and find his brother's killer at the same time. When Killian finds himself caught between his duties to the SBPD and his need for vengeance, matters are only complicated by the feelings he develops for the woman he's supposed to protect. He's impulsive and hot-tempered, and she's methodical and cool under pressure. Despite their differences, can they work together to bring the murderer to justice, or will the murderer get to them first? Authors Note: This story is based on Sandra Brown's The Crush. It's a novel I read a long time ago and recently reread and couldn't help but my spin on it with Captain Swan.Complete

He took off his jacket and wrapped it around his thigh, he winced in pain as he made it tight. He looked around the truck, trying not to move too much. He eventually found a pen and a piece of paper.
