In a city where crime hides in plain sight, two lives collide on opposite sides of the law.
Alistair Blackwood is a quiet, bookish police officer struggling to earn the respect of his peers. Mocked for his slim frame and over-analytical nature, he's relegated to desk work, where his obsession with solving a string of daring robberies becomes his only escape. The culprit, known only as Shadow, is an enigma-a thief who leaves behind no trace except a mocking signature and a trail of chaos.
Evelyn, alias Shadow, is a master of disguise and a thief with a code. She steals not for greed but for justice, targeting the corrupt elite who exploit the city's most vulnerable. Her calculated heists and unshakable anonymity make her untouchable, until a single mistake sets her on a collision course with Alistair.
When Alistair is framed for a crime he didn't commit, he's forced to team up with Shadow to uncover the truth. Bound by a reluctant truce, the two must navigate a web of lies, betrayal, and the shadows of their own pasts. As they work together, their hatred gives way to something deeper-a connection neither of them expected nor wanted.
But with the law closing in and secrets threatening to tear them apart, can Alistair and Evelyn trust each other enough to survive? Or will their partnership end in tragedy, leaving them both lost to the shadows?
An enemies-to-lovers romance filled with mystery, danger, and forbidden love.

Forgotten Truths
Skylar Green never believed her first year of university would change everything. Innocent, naive, but stubbornly down to earth, she only wanted to keep her head down, study hard, and avoid distractions. But then she meets Adrian Hart- Her brother's best friend. Adrian is everything Skylar swore she'd never fall for, especially because she already had a man in her life, Enzo. Tattooed, magnetic, and dangerous in ways she can't quite name, he hides arrogance behind a smirk and mystery behind those piercing green eyes. He's the kind of man who takes what he wants-and somehow, what he wants is her. Passion. Possessiveness. A pull she can't explain. Skylar quickly finds herself caught in Adrian's world, a world that feels thrilling and intoxicating... until it all comes crashing down. And then one truth shatters everything... A truth so devastating it sends her running into the storm. A truth she may never forgive. A truth that ends with screeching tires, shattered glass, and darkness. When she wakes, her memory is gone. But the secret remains. Who can she trust when everyone around her has something to hide? What is Adrian keeping buried behind that smoldering gaze? And when the forgotten truths finally come to light... will they ruin her, or set her free?
