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

“You could try,” Cam responded as Erika rolled over to her. 16


Why had she done that? It wasn’t Michael. That’s who she wanted it to be. She knew they’d discussed it and she had the right to fuck someone else, but was this the one?


The bedroom door opened and Erika entered with a tray with two steaming coffee mugs.


“Good morning,” she said as she placed the tray on the bed table. She leaned in to give Cam a kiss.


“Are you a breakfast eater?” she asked. “I could scramble some eggs for you.”


“Or I have a half dozen jelly donuts.”


“Jelly donuts?” Cam laughed. “I haven’t had a donut since I got kicked off the force.”


“I’ll get some,” Erika said as she started to get off the bed.


Cam grabbed her hand. “No. That’s a part of my life I’d rather not relive.” She took a sip of the coffee Erick had passed her.


“I’m sorry,” Erika said as she leaned back.


“It was a choice I made,” was Cam’s only comment.
