"In a dystopian UK devastated by austerity and ruled by corporate interests, Brooklyn Marshall was a happily married London police officer -- until an accident resulted in the death of a protester connected to a powerful family. Now he takes out his anger and pain on his opponents, fighting for the company that took him into stewardship after his convinction and disgrace -- and which all but owns him. Wealthy barrister Nathaniel Bishop fulfills his dream of a family when he adopts a daughter. He can't resist researching her allegedly violent criminal father, but Brook isn't at all what he expects. He's fascinating... and maybe worthy of redemption. Through legal sleight of hand, Nathaniel thinks he can overturn Brook's convinction. Brook has learned the hard way not to trust anyone, let alone a privileged man who's purchased his "time." But as they get to know each other, he allows himself to hope."--Page 4 of cover.
