"I made a promise to always be there for you," he said, his voice tight with emotion. "And you're making it impossible for me to keep it."
She froze at the door, her back to him, her heart pounding in her chest. The words hung in the air like a weight, heavy with unspoken meaning.
"I'm sorry, Luke," she whispered, not turning around. "But this isn't about you or me. This is about survival."
-------
Riley Torres has spent her whole life fighting her own battles. Raised in a tough neighborhood with a dark past that still haunts her, she's always taken care of herself. When she joins the police force, it's not just about the badge-it's about finding a purpose, a way out of the shadows of her brothers' mistakes and her own painful memories. But no amount of self-reliance prepares her for Luke Maddox.
Luke, a seasoned cop with a hardened exterior, doesn't believe Riley can handle the pressures of the job. He's strict, unyielding, and deeply scarred by the loss of a former trainee. Trust is not something he gives easily. Riley, with her independent streak and defiance, is the last person he thinks he can depend on-until an undercover operation throws them together in a way that neither expected.
When a high-profile case involving dangerous criminals pulls Riley into the dark world she once ran from, Luke can't stand back and watch her risk it all-especially as it becomes clear she's a target. Bound by duty but torn by their growing attraction, Luke and Riley find themselves crossing lines they never thought they would.
