Danger lurks around every corner and police officer Eddie Scarlett needs to stay focused on capturing a serial killer before someone else dies. A hot, sexy, blue eyed stranger is not a distraction he can afford ... or can he? Eddie Scarlett, one of NYC's finest cops, is a tarnished hero. According to the scum on the street, Eddie is handsome, hot, and dangerous, but he has a heart as black as death. He’s called a back alley cop because he does undercover work for the NYPD, making him familiar with every back alley in the city. When a crime spree breaks out, Eddie meets what he thinks is a whore with beautiful blue eyes. During their first encounter, they slam together like two taxis on Broadway. Before their relationship can even get started, Eddie has to go undercover. It’s the kind of case that will test the resolve of a tough cop, forcing Eddie to forget his blue-eyed lover, his own identity, and even his common sense to melt into the city’s back alleys and capture a master killer wielding a cold blade.

Tarnished Hero

“Don’t tell me that’s all you’ve got.”

Sometime during the night, Adam whispered, “Eddie, I’ve got to go.”


“Do you have to? Why not stay here with me?”


Eddie sat up, and looked down at Adam. “This dump? You’re calling my house a dump? It is not a dump. You’ve just seen it at its worst, that’s all. My clothes are everywhere, the kitchen’s in a mess…”


“I’m sorry, I’m so insensitive sometimes. It’s just that in comparison to mine…”
