They may hate each other, but as they're forced to work together and trust each other, their chemistry becomes undeniable. With heinous crimes continuing-all pointing towards Rhys and his family, it's not long until tensions in the city yield to violence. The only way they'll make it through safely is with each other's help. But if their families find out about their forbidden relationship, their jobs and social standing-and even Calla's life-will be at stake.
