When a member must leave the Tri-State Federal Drug Task Force, Colin Crew, as leader, doesn’t get to pick a replacement. Instead, he’s assigned one. One he’s not happy about.
Not only because the woman only has a year on the job as a DEA agent, but she’s also younger than he’d like. Add in the fact he worked with her father in the past. A man who now holds a high-level position within the agency and, with one wrong move on his part, could easily crush Crew’s long-established career within his fist.
Even worse, she’s a challenge. With her smart mouth, she can give him a run for his money when it comes to busting balls.
He needs to tread lightly while still maintaining control of his team. Unfortunately, that’s difficult to do since Camila Cabrera is every man’s fantasy.
All right, maybe not everyone’s, but his for sure.
And that’s the biggest problem of all.
Note: Beyond the Badge: Crew is the fifth book in the Blue Avengers MC series. It’s HIGHLY recommended to read this six-book action/adventure series in order due to the continuing story arcs (subplots). However, each book focuses on a different couple who gets their HEA. This series has no cheating or relationship cliffhangers.
Tropes: MC, age gap, single father, workplace romance, interracial/multicultural, law enforcement

Chapter One
His girl’s throaty rumble filled his ears and got his pulse pounding.
It had been a while since she’d been between his legs. He’d missed straddling her. Riding her hard. Pushing her to her limits.
She had it all. Power, gorgeous lines and ball-tightening speed.
Some men his age went out and bought a Corvette. Some, like him, preferred a ride that would spike his blood pressure and make him feel alive. One that hugged curves taken at high speeds.
His ex, Sasha, might have won his prized Harley in the divorce, but he won his freedom.
The second the ink was dry on the divorce papers, he took the money he had left, rushed down to the local Harley-Davidson dealership and signed his name again. This time on a pink slip for something that would help him get over that painful mess.
A Harley-Davidson FXDR 114 with a custom black and silver paint job to match his salt-and-pepper hair. He also added a custom seat so he could take one of the kids for a spin.
Not that they clamored to ride with dear old dad.
But if they ever did…
His girl, aptly named Silver Foxy, had a top speed of 160 mph and was capable of going zero-to-sixty in less than three seconds flat.
