About this book
Imagine being a sheriff’s deputy dealing with everything from attack chihuahuas and hungry pythons to irate bikers and even a murderous nun. That’s just another day on the job for Deputy Gemma Jones. Between keeping Maricopa County safe and dodging chaos, Gemma finds solace in competitive ballroom dancing—until Detective Sergeant Dante Delgado waltzes into her life, setting her personal world on fire. Written by a former 9-1-1 dispatcher, this novella is packed with action, humor, and the wildest true-life-inspired incidents you can imagine.
I’ve been a Maricopa County Sheriff’s deputy for four years. Most folks don’t have a clue about what a cop deals with every day. Like a pack of attack chihuahuas, a monkey with a bad case of diarrhea, a hungry python, a Brahma bull named Bodacious and a six-foot iguana.
And that is just the critters. Now let me tell you about the two-legged varmints. Such as a three-hundred-pound biker who got a bit irate when I zapped him with a stun gun, or a murderous nun, and let’s not forget the senior citizens having an orgy. Ugh.
My personal life isn’t much better. Off duty I’m a ballroom dancer which everyone makes fun of. I love competitive dancing; I get to meet a lot of people who aren’t trying to kill me. Ok, there was one incident, but hey, shit happens. At a dance competition Detective Sergeant Dante Delgado waltzed into my life. My girly parts yelled Yee-haw, he’s the one. Now, if I can only get him to do the tango with me.
Law enforcement isn’t for the fainthearted. Are you brave enough to enter my world?
Author’s note: I was a 9-1-1 dispatcher for way too many years and this novella contains some of the wilder incidents that occurred.
