Serve. Protect. Don’t fall in love...

Rookie cop Kelly Jenkins thought that saving a terrified little boy from his abductors was the end of the story. It wasn’t. With the kidnappers on the loose and the child clinging to her as his “mommy,” Kelly is pulled into a world of wealth and privilege.

Arrogant, handsome billionaire Trey Wentworth is the boy’s father, and a pain in her working-class butt. Yet even as the threats against Trey and Kelly mount, attraction blazes between them. Leaving now would place them all in peril. But the longer she stays, the more Kelly risks losing herself—and her heart—in a world where she doesn’t belong.

“This might be a little above and beyond your normal duty...”

Uncomfortable under Trey Wentworth’s scrutiny, Kelly looked out the tinted windows and noted the ferry had pushed away from the dock. Wow. She was on her way to Collins Island. Imagine that. She’d always been curious about the legendary place.

“I apologize if I insulted you by offering you money,” Wentworth said in a low voice. “Please forgive me.”

“Don’t worry about it,” Kelly said. “A hot shower will be more than enough reward.”

“Oh, I think we can do better than that,” he said, and smiled a lazy smile. Somehow a dangerous smile, Kelly thought.

This man was accustomed to getting his own way and doing exactly what he wanted.

Dear Reader (#u039ecdf0-eaa6-52fc-ae15-40b0cb840f56),

I’m thrilled about the publication of The Billionaire’s Son, the first book in my new miniseries, The Rookie Files. The Rookie Files will follow the journeys of five rookie cops who meet in police training, become friends, and then learn and grow in their law enforcement careers in Miami-Dade County, Florida. And of course they fall in love!

Kelly Jenkins, the heroine of The Billionaire’s Son, had a rough childhood but fought against the odds to achieve success. A police officer once helped her, and his assistance inspired her to become a cop and provide similar help to others.

When Kelly rescues Jason, the son of sexy billionaire Trey Wentworth, she has little use for the father since he appears to spend most of his time partying. But traumatized Jason clings to Kelly, and she can’t say no to the child. Before she knows what’s happening, she’s living in Wentworth Villa where she solves the mystery of who kidnapped Jason. But she also needs to solve the mysteries of her own heart. How could she fall in love with a man who is her complete opposite?

I hope you enjoy Trey and Kelly’s story as much as I enjoyed writing it! I love to hear from readers. Please visit my website at sharonshartley.com (http://www.sharonshartley.com).

Namaste,

Sharon
