Forced to endure the long trip with a murderer on board, she finds herself wishing she could return home, even if it means catching the killer herself.
However, she soon finds the task challenging when she starts falling more and more infatuated with the young, brooding detective in the carriage next to hers, who seems to know an awful lot about the murder, and even more about Rae's dark past.
With her heart toying with her emotions and the constant need to check over her shoulder every five minutes, her list of allies grows thin. Rae must learn who she can and can't trust, and force her past not to catch up with her, while she battles to get what she wants- to return home in one piece.
Six weeks, two siblings, and a train journey that is about to change everything. Rae's about to find out who she really is, and exactly what she stands for.

He's faced some of the city's toughest criminals and darkest secrets, but nothing prepared him for the arrival of Officer Emily Bennett-a patrol officer from England with a past she's determined to leave behind. Emily Bennett transferred to Chicago PD to escape the shadows of a tragic incident in London that left her questioning her purpose. She wanted a fresh start, and the bustling, gritty streets of Chicago seemed like the perfect place to find it. With her sharp instincts, no-nonsense attitude, and British wit, she quickly earns the respect of her peers, though her methods sometimes clash with the local way of policing. When a string of violent crimes threatens to tear apart Chicago's immigrant communities, Antonio and Emily are partnered to bring down the elusive mastermind behind the chaos. Despite their initial differences-Antonio's steady, methodical approach contrasts with Emily's impulsive, emotionally-driven style-their shared commitment to justice and protecting the vulnerable draws them closer together. As the investigation intensifies, so does the undeniable chemistry between them. Emily finds herself captivated by Antonio's quiet strength and deep compassion, while Antonio is drawn to Emily's fiery spirit and the vulnerability she hides beneath her tough exterior. But both carry emotional scars-Antonio from a complicated family life and a recent heartbreak, and Emily from the traumatic events she fled in England. As they work side by side, they slowly begin to break down each other's walls, discovering a connection that neither expected nor thought possible.Complete
