He keeps a file on the monster. It's gotten personal.

For eighteen months, Detective Daniel Reyes has built a case against Dominic Vance, the man who runs the city's underworld. Then the bodies start turning up behind shuttered laundromats: predators the system let walk, their hands folded like they've been laid out for church. Dominic doesn't deny it. He only asks Daniel to look at the arithmetic.

No one touches children on Dominic's streets. No one hurts the people who work them. And Daniel, who has never broken a rule in his life, can't summon the outrage he's supposed to feel.

Dominic has never bowed to a judge, a priest, or his own father. He drops to his knees for exactly one man.

Then someone Dominic trusts tries to kill him, and Daniel finds him bleeding in a safehouse above a bakery. He breaks every rule he has to keep a murderer alive. And when the proof leads to the one person Dominic can't bear to suspect, Daniel has to decide how much of himself he will burn for the man he swore to arrest.

Kneel for the Law is a dark mafia/cop MM romance about the line between justice and mercy, the people the system fails, and choosing the monster with your eyes open.

Standalone. Explicit. Happily ever after.
