Some people break like glass. She learned how to shatter silently. Skylar Altair wasn't supposed to wear a badge. At twenty-four, she was a certified prodigy-board-certified in half a dozen specialties, a nuclear medicine and neuro-path genius, a rising star in a white coat. The youngest. The brightest. The girl who never failed. But trauma doesn't care about your résumé. Loss doesn't care how many degrees you've earned. And the world doesn't stop spinning just because your soul flatlines. Her father died in front of her eyes when she was twelve. Her brother spiraled into addiction. And when she needed help most-when everything was taken from her in a single night-no one came. Not the heroes. Not the law. Not the system. So she stopped waiting. They taught her how to save people. Now she's going to learn how to protect herself. With the steel of a soldier in her blood and the precision of a surgeon in her bones, Skylar trades the hospital lights for sirens, scrubs for Kevlar. Becoming a cop was never the plan. But plans change-especially after the aftershock. In a city that's breaking at the seams, Skylar will have to confront everything she tried to bury: her rage, her grief, her brilliance, and the terrifying possibility that maybe-just maybe-she was meant for this life all along. Genius. Survivor. Rookie. She's not trying to be a hero. She's just trying not to fall apart again.

Valerie Swan knew she never belonged in the city. She only stayed in Seattle because of her job as Detective with SPD. But the dense forests, a misty solitude, and a quiet rustic charm is what called to her. So when her niece Bella moves in with her older brother Charlie and a new Detective role opens up with Forks Police Department, she can't turn down the opportunity. There's been a string of animal attacks that call for an expert hand in investigating. And with a population as close-knit as Forks, everyone is rattled. Val is determined to help her brother, Chief Swan, solve the case. Not long after her arrival, Bella nearly gets crushed by a car in the parking lot of her high school. She and Charlie rush from work to Forks Community Hospital. And that's when she meets him. Carlisle Cullen. The lead physician tending to her niece. There's something about him. Something irresistibly charming. It's a magnetic pull she can't shake. He's impossibly handsome and alluring in a way that unnerves her. And he can't seem to take his eyes off of her either. Not in a way that makes her feel seen, but in a way that makes her feel like prey. It's not a soft gaze he offers her. It's dark and hungry. Valerie quickly learns there is something brewing in the small town, begging to be unraveled.
