But as Jaylynn and Dez get to know one another, a strong friendship forms. Having been burned in the past by getting romantically involved with another cop, Dez has a steadfast rule she has abided by for nine years: Cops are off limits. One of them, Jaylynn Savage, is immediately attracted to the taciturn cop--so much so that she joins the St. As fate would have it, Dez is eventually assigned as Jaylynn's Field Training Officer
