Summary: George Cowley knows a marriage made in heaven when he sees one, and he's going to arrange it even if he has to send his young recruits to hell and back. Bodie, closed off and traumatised from his experiences in the SAS, can't believe he's being partnered up with a raw ex-copper. But Ray Doyle is his last chance, and as they fight through their training together and begin their work on the turbulent streets of 1970s London, a fire springs up between them that will either be their partnership's making or its destruction.

Notes: Thank you to JGL for encouraging me to take part in this great project and being my first reader, also to Firlefanzine for the atmospheric artwork.

I know I am so late coming with these comments - hope you will forgive.
As always with your stories, I adored this, read it in one sitting - who wants to work anyway? And immediately loaded it on to my Kindle and have since re-read it twice more to savour and lose myself in it each time. I was away this weekend with no net access and not much luggage and it was lovely to be able to pull out my Kindle and be able to immerse myself in this in the middle of rural Dorset!
Gabe was a lovely and very real OC, our lads were so very much themselves as we know and love them and Cowley was just - so the Cow!
Thank you so much for the wonderful reading pleasure you have given me, with this and your other stories, an absolute delight!
This (http://pics.livejournal.com/rosie55/pic/002csttz/) is a photograph I took on Monday of some painted angels I found in a church I visited in Somerset on our way home - I know they're not the painted angels you wrote about (which I shall make a point of seeing next time I am in London!) but they did make me smile and one was just a bit Doylish, I thought, complete with open jerkin and exposed chest!
Thank you again - wonderful!
