About this series
When a thirteen-year-old boy declares war on the most powerful drug lord in the city, the fallout could cost both sides everything they care about.
An undercover op goes awry, landing Detective Phillip "Dare" Darren in the hospital and his son, JT, back on the streets. Declaring war on the man responsible, JT returns to his life as an informant and swears to get his revenge by destroying Terrence Maxwell's entire empire.
Revenge works both ways, and the kickback may destroy every aspect of Dare and JT's lives. Allegations surface that threaten to taint every case they've worked together. Worse, a vicious attack on JT threatens to shatter the bond between father and son.
Confronted with proof that JT leaked the condemning evidence to the police and faced with a lifetime in prison, Dare finds himself questioning if even God has turned against him. It would take a miracle for JT to see him as anything more than a monster, and Dare finds his faith in miracles stretching pretty thin.
As their lives unravel, Maxwell positions himself to unite all the gangs in the city under him. If Dare and JT lose faith in each other, the war has already been lost.

- Dare to Trust: Dare & JT Crime Drama, #1
1
When the word of a precocious street kid contradicts that of a decorated police officer, who do you believe? Religion never held a high priority for Detective Phillip "Dare" Darren; so when he gets a tip about a brewing gang war, he's determined to investigate on his own. When a young informant points the finger at a fellow officer, Dare finds he may have taken on more than he bargained for. Twelve-year-old JT knows nobody pays attention to him—a fact he uses to his advantage. The crimes he's witnessed have already gotten one person killed, and the boy himself is next on the traitor's hit list. Life on the streets has trained him the only one he can count on is God; but if he can't learn to trust Dare as well, people will die. When tragedy rips their lives apart, Dare's self-reliance cracks, straining the tenuous bond between him and JT. Dare's choice between God's strength or his own could make the difference between stopping the traitor and letting him split the city wide open. Trust is never easy. For Dare and JT it's the only thing keeping them alive.
- Dare to Rise: Dare & JT Crime Drama, #2
2
When JT's past comes back to haunt him, can Dare protect him? Detective Phillip "Dare" Darren's worst nightmare has come true. Someone is gunning for his son. Not for JT's role as an anonymous police informant, but for something hidden deeper in the twelve-year-old's past. A coldly planned attack leaves JT critically wounded and Dare struggling to believe how God would allow something like this to happen. Doubts about God's care for his son turn to doubts about his own. Surely there's something more he can do to keep him safe. When JT's biological father, Jake Owens, sues for custody on the grounds that Dare can't keep the boy safe, Dare is tempted to see his point. Surely all Owens' money can provide security where Dare has failed. What if this is how God intends to protect JT? Uncovering the truth about JT's past casts doubt on Owens' goodwill and the reason for his sudden return to JT's life. JT is still a target; and if Dare can't rise above the past, his son might not live to see tomorrow.
