Caden

Officer Caden Steele’s shift was almost over—just another quiet night on patrol in the suburbs. Until he clocked a silver sedan going twenty over the limit. The last person he expected to see behind the wheel was her. Two years. One brutal, silent breakup. A past he’s tried—and failed—to leave in the rearview mirror. Now she’s right in front of him, and the uniform, the badge, the protocol… none of it matters. All the old questions come rushing back. The hurt. The what-ifs. He has the power to write her a ticket that could cost her hundreds. Or he can let her go with a warning. But first, he needs answers. Why was she speeding? Why is she out here alone so late? And why, after all this time, does seeing her feel like the breath has been knocked out of him? One stop. Two choices. A second chance under the flashing red and blue lights. What would you do if the one who broke your heart was suddenly at your mercy? —— Genres: romance, second chance, drama, emotional, contemporary, reunion, angst, police procedural, slice of life
