Detective Keith has seen the worst of humanity, but a new client, Celine, is different. Her case is ordinary, but her presence is a siren song Keith can't resist. What begins as professional curiosity spirals into a possessive fixation, and Keith becomes Celine's unseen guardian. Celine senses she is being watched, her fear slowly replaced by an eerie sense of protection she cannot explain. A watchful shadow, always there, preventing harm. But what happens when the one you're supposed to be protecting was the one who was just a game? And what dark secret is Celine hiding that could possibly change everything? What if the woman the detective is obsessed with isn't the victim at all, but the mastermind?
