Description
Detective Sarah Jenkins is the best at what she does, but her newest assignment is a test of professional discipline she never saw coming. When a high-profile witness needs round-the-clock security, Sarah is tasked with keeping the infuriatingly stubborn and undeniably magnetic Maya Delgado safe from the shadows of her past.
The dynamic is volatile from the start. Maya isn’t just a witness; she’s a free spirit who refuses to be confined, while Sarah is bound by the rigid protocols of the Phoenix Ridge Police Department. As they are forced into cramped quarters and high-stakes situations, the professional boundary between protector and protectee begins to blur. Every close encounter sparks a tension they can no longer ignore, and as the danger surrounding them escalates, they must decide if their growing connection is worth the risks of their separate worlds.
Set against a backdrop of mounting suspense, this story is an emotional roller coaster that masterfully weaves together pulse-pounding action and a slow-burn sapphic romance. With unexpected twists that keep the stakes impossibly high, Emily Hayes delivers a gripping tale of trust, sacrifice, and the undeniable chemistry that blooms under the most dangerous circumstances.
