Quest for Justice — Melanie Atkins

Detective Abby Ryals goes behind the sheriff's back to accept a risky undercover assignment with another agency to avenge the murder of the man she loves -- a fellow detective who is actually very much alive and in witness protection.

Once C.J. Bowman learns Abby has gone undercover to bring down the notorious drug lord who attempted to kill him, he leaves witness protection and follows her inside the clandestine operation to keep her safe.

Together, they are forced to race the clock to defeat one of the Deep South's most notorious drug lord before he discovers their true identities.
