𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇- Everyone believes Nyelle Carter is just the girlfriend. The kind of woman men overlook. The kind they talk around instead of to. The kind who listens quietly while power moves past her.
Isaiah Rowan has spent five years undercover, building a case that finally feels close enough to touch. A respected club owner by night, a detective by training, he knows how to read people, knows when to trust his instincts.
What he doesn't expect is Nyelle.
She isn't reckless. She isn't loud. And she isn't as unaware as she pretends to be. Their connection isn't planned. It isn't safe. And it isn't supposed to last.
But in a world built on secrets, proximity becomes dangerous, affection becomes complicated, and silence begins to mean more than truth.
