As he helps her piece her life back together, Elena begins to rediscover her voice - and slowly, something deeper begins to grow between them.

In a city full of shadows, can they learn to trust each other before it's too late? "Shadows of the Heart" is a thrilling and emotional rollercoaster that blends the grit of Chicago PD with the slow burn of an unexpected love story.
