Nineteen-year-old Isabella Helton came to Chicago for college, soccer, and a fresh start-
not for the brooding commander of Chicago PD's Intelligence Unit.
But life doesn't always play by the handbook.
Between juggling classes, dorm life, and chasing her dream of becoming an elementary teacher-or maybe even an agent like her boyfriend-Isabella finds herself pulled deeper into the shadows of Chicago's underbelly.
Hank Voight, the gruff, gravel-voiced Intelligence chief with eyes like storm clouds, never expected to fall for someone her age... but Isabella isn't just anyone.
She's sharp.
She's loyal.
She's trouble wrapped in a smile.
Whenever she's not sprinting across the soccer field or studying with her best friend Jess, Isabella is sneaking her way into the 21st District-slipping into Intelligence like she belongs there.
And honestly?
Maybe she does.
Her instincts are uncanny.
Her courage is reckless.
And Voight... well, he can't stay away.
But Chicago is a city of secrets, and Isabella is balancing on a razor's edge between college life and the dangerous world Voight commands. The deeper she gets, the harder it becomes to walk away-and the more Voight realizes he'd burn the city down before letting anyone hurt her.
Still... rules exist for a reason.
Lines exist for a reason.
And Isabella is crossing every single one.
When a case hits too close to home, the city's shadows come for her-and Voight will have to decide how far he's willing to go to protect the girl who was never supposed to be his.
