Sometimes, love is difficult to prove. Detective Sergeant Greg Anderson has never been one for following the rules. But even he knows it would be a mistake to give in to the fiery chemistry between him and the cute, young intelligence analyst. Still ... rules were meant to be broken. Especially when Greg finds himself caring for a homeless man's ugly, foul-smelling, one-eyed mutt. Who better to help him than a country girl? Becoming another notch on Greg's bedpost is not in Emily Saunders' plan. Everybody knows he never dates the same woman for more than a week. And she's worked too hard to risk her job for a fling. But Emily can't ignore a dog in need. When a long-running drug investigation becomes unexpectedly personal, Emily and Greg's budding relationship comes under scrutiny, forcing Emily to make a difficult decision to protect her career. And when the case is blown wide open, they'll have to choose what's more important: love or pride. Author's Note: With or Without Trust is book two in the Hot Cops Series. It can be read as a standalone and has a guaranteed HEA and no cliffhanger. However, reader experience may be enhanced by reading With or Without Panties first.
