The Cop

A Call to Justice

When dedicated Metropolitan Police constable Emma Collins volunteers for a sensitive domestic violence unit in North London, she believes she’s prepared for anything—until she meets Rachel Miller, a terrified young mother whose bruises tell a story of terror far deeper than Emma anticipated. As Emma delves into Rachel’s case, interviewing frightened witnesses and piecing together fragmented accounts, she finds herself drawn into the darker side of her city, where the line between protection and peril can blur with one wrong decision.

Shadows of the Past

Haunted by memories of her own family’s fractured history, Emma is determined to bring justice to Rachel and her children. Yet the investigation uncovers secrets that threaten to shake Emma’s faith: a powerful community leader accused of intimidation, a silent network of neighbors too afraid to speak, and a whispered conspiracy that could undermine the entire force. Forced to confront her superiors and challenge the status quo, Emma must decide whether her duty to the badge outweighs her loyalty to the people she’s sworn to protect.

The Line Between Law and Love

As the pressure mounts, Emma finds solace in an unlikely friendship with Detective Sergeant Daniel Harper, whose own unconventional methods have earned him both admiration and suspicion. Together, they navigate red tape and political backroom deals, following a trail of evidence that leads them from council estates to the hushed confines of private clubs. But when sparks ignite between them, Emma must balance her growing attraction to Daniel against the strict boundaries of police professionalism.

Hearts in Harmony

In a heart-pounding climax, Emma confronts the embodiment of Rachel’s worst fears—and her own—facing down a perpetrator whose influence reaches further than anyone realized. With Daniel at her side, she races against time to rescue a family in desperate need and restore hope where it seemed all but lost. Cara Summers’s vivid prose shines a light on the courage required to stand up to injustice, and the strength found in unexpected alliances. Author’s description.
