Dr. Jacob “Jonesy” Jones and Dr. Katie Murphy are experts at trading barbs. As members of a college dinner club, they have spent years orbiting each other, fueled by the wreckage of a heartbreak that occurred eight years ago. Jonesy is a steady, loyal army psychologist, while Katie is a battle-worn detective for the Seattle Police Department who is currently running on empty. Their antagonistic dynamic shifts abruptly when a shared morning-after discovery forces them to confront their long-standing, unresolved tension. However, their personal drama is quickly eclipsed by a lethal reality: a high-stakes murder investigation that pulls them into the dark, dangerous underbelly of the city. As Katie hunts a serial killer, her walls begin to crumble, and she finds herself leaning on the very man she swore to keep at a distance. Jonesy, an obsessed and protective force, is determined to help her find peace, even if it means diving into the darkness of her world. Featuring a tension-filled, frenemies-to-lovers romance, this story explores the dangerous line between passion and protection. As the pressure of the case mounts, Katie must decide if she can risk her heart—and her life—by trusting the one man who knows her darkest secrets.
