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 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.
