Whitney's life is a balancing act. Bound by love. Held by fear. She hides the bruises of her heart behind soft smiles and warm hands. The stars whisper promises of escape, but she knows the truth they carry. It's too late.
Faro lives by the law, haunted by shadows that his badge can't banish. His unshakable demeanour hides a man fighting his father's dark blood. It's his calling, and it's his cage, but then there's her—a ray of sun in winter, beautifully warm, achingly untouchable.
Their worlds collide on fault lines of pain. Police uncover a dangerous network of corruption. Whitney's world unravels. Love is forbidden, justice demands sacrifice, and the stakes have never been higher.
How far is anyone willing to go to protect the things they love?
