Code of Passion

by Shani Samuel

Carla Stafford is a beautiful critical thinker. It served her well in her job as Lead Forensic Analyst at her district's crime lab, but has left little time for romance as she runs from her own personal demons. When Carla gets a little too close to a hardened kingpin’s plans, the intensely handsome but guarded Detective Lucas Tomlinson has to protect her long enough to get the answers he needs to exact his revenge. He’s been harboring a secret, and this case means he can finally put his fears to rest, so why does he find himself so distracted by the curvaceous beauty in his protection?

As bullets fly and secrets unravel, their attraction to each other starts to burn hotter. When the past and deadly enemies threaten to tear them apart, they’ll have to decide—fight for justice or surrender to the passion neither of them saw coming.


Code of Passion is a pulse-pounding romantic action novel filled with heart-stopping danger, sizzling passion, and the compelling power of lust leading to love. For fans of slow-burn tension and irresistible chemistry, this story will leave you breathless.
