Love Was Never Part of the Mission

Mara Burke went after police work on her father's account. The night the acceptance from the police academy came, a gang killed her family, and she came out of it alive. She took the name Queenie Dawn and got herself into Zack Lowe's household as a tutor, which put her next to the man she held responsible. In a room of his she found the memorial photographs of her parents and began to doubt what she had walked in believing. Zack was badly hurt at one point and she let the chance go by; he had risked himself to get her out of something earlier, and a charm from her family turned out to tie the two of them together. Zack was a police officer working undercover. After that they set traps together, using the fights already running between the men inside the gang, and went at Jackson Mallow, who ran it.
