Cameron Andrews of the Baltimore PD went to prison as part of a deep undercover sting. Having exposed the drug cabal in the prison, she has been released on parole. But before Cam has time to pick up the pieces of her life, the drug ring recruits her to join their operation on the outside. Since Cam and her handlers don't know who runs the drug operation, this is a welcome, if unexpected, windfall. The team leaps into action, and soon Cam is learning about the people involved, the manufacturing of the drugs, and the delivery routes. But things are perilous. Her parole officer starts asking uncomfortable questions, and her relationship with Michael is difficult because, though they are deeply committed to one another, they live in different cities. And when the ring is busted and Cam escapes capture, the suspicions of the gang leaders zero in on Cam. Can she manage to deflect suspicion and stay undercover before she ends up back in prison ... or dead?

Out and Beyond

Oh, come on, Gauchet, she chided herself. At least remember a few of them. It would be a lot cheaper if you remembered a few of their names.


“Will you be around for a while?” Roy asked.


“At least for a couple months. I’m not sure after that.”


“Then I wish you bon chance. I hope your young ladies make this a good night for you.”


“I’m sure at least one of them will. You have a good night, too.”


Michael laughed and patted him on his shoulder. She picked up her drink and slowly moved down the bar. There were several people who said hello when she passed.


When she got to where the two young women were, she held her glass up to toast them.


“Merci,” she said. Then she turned to the blond, “How have you been, Chris?”


The blonde’s eyes opened wide. Mistress Michael had remembered her name! How awesome was that? She must have made some sort of impression.


“Mistress,” she started, “This is my friend Andrea. She’s from Ottawa.”
