Matthew Worth is a mess. Somewhere between a good cop and a bad screwup, he botched a marriage and a career. His fellow officers think heβs a joke. His commanders are tired of cutting him breaks. Even his wife has left him for a flashy homicide detective. Busted to night patrol at a robbery-prone Omaha supermarket, Worth is doing time, wearing his uniform and asking shoppers if they want paper or plastic. If that isnβt enough, he suspects he might be falling for Gwen, the shy checkout girl who may be an even bigger mess than he is. It couldnβt get any worse. Until it does.
When Gwen comes to him one night scared and desperate for help, Worth discovers just how far heβs willing to go to protect and serve. The next thing he knows, heβs driving a stolen car with a corpse in the trunk, a pistol in the glove box, and no way to turn back. Everything he doesnβt know could get them killed. And things havenβt even begun to get messy yet....
