Madden by Laramie Briscoe

Madden
Being the newest member of the Laurel Springs Police Department and the LSERT hasn’t been easy. I’m trying to carve out a place of my own where family bonds run deep in this tight-knit group of men. They haven’t been unwelcoming, but I yearn to truly belong.
In both Laurel Springs, and the LSERT. The one friend I can count on is my K-9 partner, Donut. We’re working hard to prove our spot in the police department, and find a sense of home.
When I’m thrust into the role of school resource officer for the local elementary school, I never anticipate being drawn into an investigation that threatens to unravel the fabric of Laurel Springs. Going back to the origins of the Moonshine Task Force. Nor do I expect a little boy with sad eyes and his hot aunt to wiggle their way into my heart.

My new life as a dispatcher is a far cry from the dreams I had before I took custody of my nephew. I’ve put a lot on hold to make sure he has what he needs, and the stability he craves.
But Madden? He’s a beacon of warmth and strength during an emotionally cold time for me. Despite my resolve to focus just on being a guardian, there’s a spark between us, igniting a flame I thought was long gone.
As we navigate what is becoming an increasingly complex situation, we discover that in the craziness of chaos, love has a way of finding it’s place. Even in the darkest of nights.
