The Guard and the Caged Soul
"He's locked behind bars, but somehow... he's the one who holds the key to my undoing."
Ayla has spent years upholding the law as a prison guard, sworn to duty and justice. She knows the rules-stay detached, never let emotions interfere, and never, ever get too close to an inmate.
But that was before Jai.
A convicted criminal with a past shrouded in secrets, Jai is more than just another prisoner-he's dangerous, calculated, and devastatingly captivating. From the moment Ayla meets him, she feels it-a pull she can't explain, an attraction she refuses to acknowledge.
As forbidden glances turn into stolen moments, Ayla begins to question everything. Is Jai truly the monster the world believes him to be? Or is there more to his story-one that could change her life forever?
But when betrayal looms and the lines between duty and desire blur, Ayla is faced with an impossible choice: love or loyalty?
And in a world where trust is a weapon and love is a weakness, making the wrong choice could cost her everything.
