VK Powell
VK Powell
grew up in a small tobacco-farming town near the east coast with three
brothers. Ironically, she didn’t smoke, never learned to swim, was
allergic to seafood until her early thirties, and played cops and
robbers way too much—perhaps contributing to her future career in law
enforcement. At twenty VK left home to pursue a job that would always
be challenging and never boring. Her mother referred to it as the day
she “ran away from home.”
A thirty-year
veteran of a midsized police department, VK was a police officer by
necessity (it paid the bills) and a writer by desire (it didn’t). Her
career spanned numerous positions including beat officer, homicide
detective, vice/narcotics lieutenant and assistant chief of police. Now
retired, she devotes her time to writing, rewriting, traveling,
volunteer work, and attracting a half-life partner (the first half
was spent chronically single).
VK is a member of the Golden Crown Literary Society and Romance Writers
of America. She is the author of three erotic short stories published
by Bold Strokes Books: Toy with Me which appears in Erotic
Interludes 3: Lessons in Love; Dessert, Anyone? included in
Erotic Interludes 4: Extreme Passions; and One for the Road
in Erotic Interludes 5: Road Games. Her first novel To
Protect and Serve was released in March 2008. Her second,
Suspect Passions, is scheduled for release in 2009.

Coming Soon...
Suspect Passions (March 2009)
Sydney Cabot doesn’t trust
uptight
attorney
Regan Desanto, who is assigned to defend her in a civil suit, and the
feeling is mutual—but Syd’s career is in the balance and her libido is
sending signals that are impossible to ignore.
City Attorney Regan Desanto moved to town a
year ago after her partner of twenty years dumped her for another woman.
All she wants is to be near her ailing grandmother and to work ordinary,
boring municipal cases until she can get her life back together. Beat
officer Sydney Cabot is a chronic serial polyamorist who craves the
adrenaline rush on and off the job. She has never wanted to be or tried
to be faithful to one woman. When Syd is slapped with a wrongful death
suit, Regan, the most uptight, controlling, and monogamous woman Syd has
ever met, is assigned the case. They don’t much like each other, but
they have to work together—and what’s even more of a challenge, they
have to figure out how to defuse their growing attraction.

To Protect and Serve
To protect or serve—a choice no detective should ever be forced to
make.
Lieutenant Alex Troy is caught in the paradox of her life—to hold
steadfast to her professional oath or to protect the woman she
loves. Assigned to the Vice/Narcotics Division, Alex is given the
dangerous but career-building mission of catching notorious and
elusive drug lord Sonny Davis. She has to assemble the perfect team
of officers to pursue the man suspected of killing numerous
coeds—and a friend of Alex’s—with the poison he peddles.
Keri Morgan is young, enthusiastic, and alive in ways that Alex can
barely remember, and Keri has a reason of her own to want Sonny
Davis dead. Before justice can be served, Alex and Keri are caught
in a web of love, duty, vengeance, and desire that will change both
their lives.
