NEW RELEASE: BROTHERS IN SERVICE by Lindy Bell

Beyond the Badge: Book 2
Publication Date: December 5, 2023

Best friends, more like brothers, Riley Sullivan, Jeremy Ennis, and Cade Marshall have always been there for each other-through thick and thin-no matter what. Sometimes though, life just gets in the way and that bond is tested far beyond what could ever be imagined.

Everything is coming together just as Riley Sullivan had dreamed. He couldn’t be happier until his first run as a rookie fire department paramedic upends it all, causing him to question the dream he holds dear. His professional uncertainty spills over into the rest of his life, creating a domino effect from which Riley staggers to recover.

Jeremy Ennis, a popular two-year veteran with the fire department, is fighting demons he refuses to discuss with anyone, even those closest to him. Those demons, and his fear, whether rational or irrational, ultimately place him in a life or death situation where he needs to focus all of his resources, but will it be enough for his survival.

Cade Marshall is the proud next link in his family’s distinguished legacy of police service. Unfortunately for Cade, he is paired with a nothing’s by the book partner who challenges Cade’s love of his job and his very desire to serve.

Riley, Jeremy, and Cade each have a unique story, but their individual stories are indelibly linked in a bond that will be tried and tested to the limits of its endurance. Is their bond strong enough to help them weather, together, the storms each face individually and will it ultimately provide them with renewed faith in themselves and-each other?

Brothers In Service: Through Thick Thin is the next novel in the Beyond the Badge series. It follows on the heels of Lindy’s debut novel, Brotherhood by Fire, which avidly reflects her admiration and love of the fire service. Brothers In Service is the story of three best friends, two firefighters and a police officer, who share a powerful fraternal bond,. Brotherhood by Fire powerfully demonstrates the dedication and humbleness of first responders and fueled the desire to convey the importance of the legendary fire service brotherhood and create cancer awareness and its growing effect on the fire service.
