Two hearts entangled in a murder mystery. Will they be pushed apart by suspicion or drawn together by fate?

Kyra Daylin didn't trust worldly, successful men. She'd built her life proving she didn't need them-her thriving family moving business was proof of that. But when tragedy strikes too close to home-a body found in the company's storage room, with only grainy footage of a hooded figure left behind-Kyra's carefully constructed world begins to crumble.

Her distrust deepens as she relies on a small circle of trusted staff, but the case brings District Attorney Kaelin Morales into her life. As one of the lead investigators, Kaelin takes a particular interest in Kyra. She is torn between her growing feelings for him and her instinct to keep everyone at arm's length.

When the hooded figure leaves a chilling threat directed at her team, Kyra invites Kaelin closer-for protection, or so she tells herself. But is it safety she's seeking, or something far more dangerous: the possibility of love?All Rights Reserved

Struggling to stay ahead of the murderer, Ethan takes it upon himself to protect her, a decision driven not just by duty but by guilt for dragging her into the danger. The closer they get to the truth, the more old wounds resurface. Ethan reveals that he pursued law enforcement inspired by Elena's passion and as a way to reconnect with her. But instead of the closure he sought, their partnership reignites feelings he thought he'd buried long ago. In a race against time, Elena must unravel the killer's twisted motives while navigating the tension between her and Ethan. As the mystery deepens, so does their connection, leaving them both to wonder if they can survive the deadly game-or if their rekindled bond will shatter under the weight of the secrets they uncover.
