Heather Greyson is one of the brightest stars in the FBI.
A sharp, disciplined professional known for her unbreakable focus. Yet beneath that flawless exterior lives a woman terrified of only one thing-her own desires. She never sought pain, but she's irresistibly drawn to roughness, dominance, and the kind of male power no one has truly given her. It's the reason she divorced her husband a few months ago.
Now Heather is assigned to the case known as "The Butcher"-a brutal string of murders linked to Nathan O'Conell, a psychopathic killer who dismembers his victims with an axe. When she finally catches him, it seems like the case is close to being wrapped up.
But there's one thing Heather doesn't know:
Nathan is in love with her. Obsessively. Dangerously. Irreversibly.
By protocol, he must spend two weeks in a secured facility-the very place where Heather works-while evidence is processed. For her, it should be routine. For him, every day is an opportunity to get closer. He doesn't care about the investigation, the rules, or the consequences.
Eventually, they strike a deal:
if the FBI fails to find conclusive evidence within two weeks, Heather will become his wife.
A deadly game begins-one where boundaries blur, morality fractures, and two opposing forces are pulled toward each other with a magnetism sharp enough to wound.
Only one of them can win.
