Detective Luke Gamble’s been assigned to investigate a suspected corrupt cop who killed a drug dealer in cold blood. The problem? He’s slept with the officer’s partner, Detective Tally Cavaleri. He believes he can separate business from pleasure, but as Tally pursues their relationship, he’s not so sure.

Tally Cavaleri’s into female domination and male submission. Taking Luke in the elevator and later in the men’s bathroom is just the beginning. She has plans for them that go beyond the simple touch-and-grope. She also has a few secrets of her own, like she’s working for Internal Affairs, investigating the same man Luke is.

I’m not sure what to make of Gray Badge of Trust. It’s told in first person narrative, from the male perspective, and I enjoy that unique voice. On the flip side, it reads like an excerpt rather than a complete story with only about twenty pages making up the tale. Formatting of the story also takes some getting used to. Gracie McKeever has a strong voice and an authentic pulse on what a man sounds and thinks like, but the tale lacks a happily-ever-after and doesn’t even attempt to resolve any plot points. Also, while the cover art is nice, it has nothing to do with the storyline. Consider yourself forewarned.
