-------
Riley Torres has spent her whole life fighting her own battles. Raised in a tough neighborhood with a dark past that still haunts her, she's always taken care of herself. When she joins the police force, it's not just about the badge-it's about finding a purpose, a way out of the shadows of her brothers' mistakes and her own painful memories. But no amount of self-reliance prepares her for Luke Maddox.
Luke, a seasoned cop with a hardened exterior, doesn't believe Riley can handle the pressures of the job. He's strict, unyielding, and deeply scarred by the loss of a former trainee. Trust is not something he gives easily. Riley, with her independent streak and defiance, is the last person he thinks he can depend on-until an undercover operation throws them together in a way that neither expected.
When a high-profile case involving dangerous criminals pulls Riley into the dark world she once ran from, Luke can't stand back and watch her risk it all-especially as it becomes clear she's a target. Bound by duty but torn by their growing attraction, Luke and Riley find themselves crossing lines they never thought they would.
