Detective Antonio Dawson is a seasoned member of the Chicago Police Department's Intelligence Unit, known for his dedication, tenacity, and unshakable moral compass. He's faced some of the city's toughest criminals and darkest secrets, but nothing prepared him for the arrival of Officer Emily Bennett-a patrol officer from England with a past she's determined to leave behind. Emily Bennett transferred to Chicago PD to escape the shadows of a tragic incident in London that left her questioning her purpose. She wanted a fresh start, and the bustling, gritty streets of Chicago seemed like the perfect place to find it. With her sharp instincts, no-nonsense attitude, and British wit, she quickly earns the respect of her peers, though her methods sometimes clash with the local way of policing. When a string of violent crimes threatens to tear apart Chicago's immigrant communities, Antonio and Emily are partnered to bring down the elusive mastermind behind the chaos. Despite their initial differences-Antonio's steady, methodical approach contrasts with Emily's impulsive, emotionally-driven style-their shared commitment to justice and protecting the vulnerable draws them closer together. As the investigation intensifies, so does the undeniable chemistry between them. Emily finds herself captivated by Antonio's quiet strength and deep compassion, while Antonio is drawn to Emily's fiery spirit and the vulnerability she hides beneath her tough exterior. But both carry emotional scars-Antonio from a complicated family life and a recent heartbreak, and Emily from the traumatic events she fled in England. As they work side by side, they slowly begin to break down each other's walls, discovering a connection that neither expected nor thought possible.

Chloe Lane is lost, emotionally and literally, on the streets of New York, and this is something she thinks she’s prepared for. What she isn’t prepared for is the overwhelming kindness of four of the few people who could possibly know and understand what she’s going through. She’s running from fear, from pain and most of all, from a brutal and virulent past. Trust is a marathon in hail, rain and fire, and Chloe is a tightly closed book, but as the spine begins to creak under all the weight, there’s a chance she just might burst open.

As Sarah and Jake both go against everything they’ve ever known to be right, the boundaries of their friendship are tested with the weight of their secrets and the disturbing possibility of an ending.
