Already a Hero — Saralynn Hoyt

Detective Brady Lawrence is directing traffic at the middle school just to catch a glimpse of the sweet woman who works there. But once he's back in plainclothes, he is trying to stop the sex-trafficking ring that continues to abduct young people all over the Pacific Northwest. Madison Petersen has escaped a bad marriage to a man who is very likely part of the Russian mob. Because her testimony could reveal a deeper conspiracy, her life is now in danger. Terrified by a gruesome threat, she runs straight into the arms of the hot cop at the school crosswalk and what starts out as an act of self-preservation, quickly turns into a passionate affair of convenience. Madame Abigail Blakemore, steampunk temptress and talented clairvoyant, steps in to help the police again by allowing both good and evil spirits to communicate through her. But it is Madison's dead mother who ends up communicating with the medium and helps steer the investigation while attempting to set things right with her daughter. But Madison is damaged not only from her unfortunate childhood, but also her truly awful choice of first husband. Can she get past her fear of making bad choices and accept Brady's love and her own heart's longing that aches for the man who has become her very own hero?
