Code of Silence - eBook

She works in silence. He sells the story. When their worlds collide, the only code they can't break is the one between their hearts.

Officer Tasha Vega owns the night. In the quiet, pre-dawn hours, her patrol car is a silent guardian in the industrial district of Harbor Ridge. She knows every bad lock, every flickering streetlight, every ghost. Her job is to prevent crime, not to make headlines. She keeps her head down, her guard up, and her private life—including the art that keeps her sane—completely off the record.

Reporter Jason Miller is chasing the one thing he can’t find in a press release: the truth. His new series on first responders is meant to show the public the reality of the job, not the polished version City Hall wants to sell. He’s looking for the grit, the heart, and the story no one is telling. He expects to find heroes. He doesn’t expect to find one who wants nothing to do with his camera.

When Jason is assigned to ride along with Tasha, his search for a story clashes with her code of silence. She’s all rules and boundaries; he’s all questions and curiosity. But as they navigate the city’s dark and quiet corners, they discover a connection forged in mutual respect and an undeniable attraction. Just as they begin to trust each other, a routine call uncovers a threat that could tear the community—and them—apart, forcing Tasha to choose between protecting her city and protecting the man who sees her more clearly than anyone.

Code of Silence is the second book in the Night Shift Hearts series, a gritty and emotional slow-burn romance about trust, truth, and the love that grows in the quietest moments. It can be read as a standalone.
