Into the Blackness — Norma Jeanne Karlsson

Nick Cooper failed to rescue his best friend when she was captured and tortured by the crime family he spent a decade undercover in. She survived, but he carries the guilt of not being her savior. Now he'll face new challenges in the most unlikely place. An active Domestic Crime Agency operative, Nick's been trained to deal with every criminal faction the country has lurking in its shadows. The sleepy affluent town of Maybelle, Connecticut is not a battleground he's prepared for. That could have something to do with his partner. Kat Russell is a force to be reckoned with. She's a breathtaking chameleon able to play any character necessary to complete an assignment. Together their mission is to take down a human trafficking ring while posing as a loving married couple. The fake fairytale has the potential to change each of them in ways they never imagined. They just have to be willing fight harder for each other than the monsters forcing them into the blackness.
