An FBI agent’s professional life collides with his deepest, most painful obsession when he is assigned to an investigation that places him directly in the path of Lila Kent. Having known Lila since childhood—and having spent years battling the memory of a single, life-altering night together—he is now forced to bridge the gap between his duty and his lingering desire. The stakes are high: he must determine if Lila is a victim in need of protection or the very source of the danger he is tasked to stop. Featuring the "sister’s best friend" and "forced proximity" tropes, their reunion is charged with a volatile mix of suspicion and insatiable chemistry. Trust is in short supply, yet the fire between them remains impossible to extinguish. As he maneuvers to uncover her secrets and reconcile the woman he remembers with the mysterious figure she has become, he finds himself trapped between the need to expose her truth and the desperate urge to keep her for himself. With his heart on the line and a case to solve, he realizes that whether it is for justice or passion, he is determined to keep Lila close—even if it means putting her in handcuffs.
