But this put everything into doubt.
Katie felt her stomach churn and her heart thump and thud inside her ribcage.
She was panicking.
Her mind running with possibilities and none of them were good.
Knowing that she had to put it to the back of her mind ahead of her cam session was one thing, but in practice it seemed impossible to ignore the facts.
Someone had been spying on Katie and had taken the most compromising photos possible.
They almost certainly had more where this one had come from.
They could have been of more sexy and naughty acts too. The kind of things that Katie would only do for extra money.
Katie was truly terrified.
Who the hell had been watching her?
And was this just the beginning?
Chapter 2
Cage
Cage Jenson was pissed.
He was so seriously irritated by the pile of police paperwork on his desk. All Cage wanted was to be out on the streets. But instead he was cooped up in his office.
With a heatwave across the city, the NYC police department buildings were hot, sticky, and full of grumpy cops.
Not exactly a laid-back atmosphere.
Still, the work had to be done.
There was no avoiding it.
‘Kaplinski, you got that homicide file I asked for?’ Cage called out.
‘Nah, hasn’t come in yet,’ Detective Kaplinski called back, busy with his own work and slurping on his customary black coffee, even in the heat.
‘Jesus Damned Christ,’ Cage grumbled. ‘Would it kill anyone to doanythingon time? Don’t answer that!’
Cage was in his mid-thirties.
Bring a cop was in his blood.
A Jenson family tradition.
One that he had been more than keen to take on and run with for another generation.
But life as a cop was never easy.
There was always a new drama lurking around the corner.
A new case.
A new series of problems that needed solving.
