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.

To Protect and Serve (March 2008)

To Protect and Serve by VK Powell

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.
