Room 203

At 22 years old, Rhea Alder is a determined, hard-working woman working at the San Diego correctional facility as a correctional counselor.

Growing up was a challenge as her parents barely cared for her, and despite being the best she could, her siblings never seemed to understand her either.

Every day seemed like a playlist on repeat, already knowing what was coming next.

However all that changes when a new prisoner arrives at the facility.

Apparently, he's dangerous. And not to mention getting him to spit out a word was a challenge.

But since when did Rhea shy away from challenges?

But working with him an hour after hour, day after day, it became less of a challenge and more of a need. The only thing different and exciting in Rhea's life became that hour spent in room 203 with a certain dark-haired, caramel-eyed criminal.

The only problem is, he's a criminal behind bars. And she's on the other side of them.
