In the Shadows of Truth

Lucy Chen has always been tough. As a rookie cop, she's used to dealing with danger. But there's something she's keeping hidden, something that haunts her every day - a traumatic attack that's left her broken, scared, and unable to trust anyone, even the people closest to her.

When her old partner, Tim Bradford, is reassigned to work with her, he can't ignore the signs that something's wrong. He's worried, but Lucy pushes him away, too afraid to open up. But when an unexpected encounter forces them into a life-changing conversation, Lucy finally tells Tim the truth - the nightmare she's been carrying alone.

Now, as Tim promises to help her find the man who did this, Lucy has to face the fear and pain that has kept her locked in the past. Will she be able to heal? And can Tim help her find the strength she needs without losing himself in the process?
