Behind The Badge
At twenty-four, Officer Eryn has already lived more than most people her age. A U.S. Army veteran with an overseas deployment behind her, Eryn is no stranger to danger, responsibility, or starting over. But transferring to the LAPD’s Mid-Wilshire Division brings something she never expected. Family. Detectives Angela Lopez and Nyla Harper become the protective older sisters she never knew she needed. Lucy Chen and Celina Juarez become her closest friends, while Sergeant Grey, John Nolan, Tim Bradford, and the rest of the station slowly make room for her in their lives. Eryn knows how to protect others. She’s just never been particularly good at letting anyone protect her. Between dangerous calls, complicated friendships, buried memories, late-night conversations, and unexpected second chances, Eryn discovers that sometimes the hardest thing isn’t surviving the past. It’s believing you deserve a place to call home. Because behind every badge is a person—and sometimes, the people beside you become your family.
