Softening Lyric (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781961966048)

I'm a Lieutenant with Gainesville Police Department and a Commander with our SWAT team. My job is my life, and I like it that way. No chance my heart can get broken.

As fate would have it, my Captain drops Lyric Sharpe into my lap. Her Field Training Officer is out with an injury, so guess who gets stuck with her?

Me.

She's a sassy new recruit. A brat who doesn't take orders and challenges me on every level. I hate it because it appeals to every part of me that needs to be in control.

Before I know what she's done to me, Lyric has burrowed into the cockles of my cold heart. I want to spend all of my time with her.

In typical Matt Chance fashion, though, I make a mistake that shatters all the progress we've made, causing her to flee right back into the fog she had just managed to escape from.

I refuse to give up on her or us. Hopefully, I can make it to her in time before I lose her forever to the clutches of the demons who haunt her.

This book is a spicy cop romance with mental health themes and mentions of physical violence. It may not be suitable for all readers.
