Secrets & Badges by Sammi Cee

Welcome to Takoda Outreach Center. Prepare yourself for open hearts, a full belly, and all the love you can handle.

How did my life get so complicated?

Starting a food pantry, my heart’s deepest desire, was finally happening. . Fate has funny timing. With my dream coming true, I find myself responsible for two homeless boys with deep secrets and their sassy “guardian” who isn’t talking either.

That would be enough to handle without my weekly hook-up, Officer Marcus LeBleu, sniffing around. Does he need to be hot and perfect? Volunteering his time and services is great, but again…timing.

Everyone adores him, conspiring against me to nudge us together. But only I know the danger I face if he finds out about my secret roommates. The one thing I know for sure is these kids need to be mine—safe, warm, and fed. Trusting Marcus is a risk, jeopardizing his career and my heart if the secrets come out. Not taking the chance on him might be the real mistake though.

This third book in the Takoda Outreach Center features one snarky teenager who will steal your heart, a little boy who’s excited to have a best friend, and a dorky forklift operator. In Sammi’s low-angst, super-sweet world, hugs are freely given and happily-ever-afters are guaranteed. Possible trigger for references to off-page sexual abuse of a minor.

Previously titled Fisher’s.
