Tangled in Crossfire | Yoon Jeonghan | Tangled Series #3

"Rule number one of Major Crimes, Detective Song: the moment you trust standard procedure, you're already two steps behind."

Six years ago, Detective Song Miya lost everything in a single night-her fiancé killed in a botched precinct raid, her family taken in a sudden "accident," and a multi-million-dollar cartel case swept cleanly under the rug. She survived by hiding behind strict protocols, sharp auditing skills, and a cold, untouchable wall.

Now transferred to Major Crimes as a forensic auditor, Miya's sole objective is simple: find the internal mole who ruined her life.

She just didn't account for Detective Yoon Jeonghan.

Effortlessly brilliant, infuriatingly relaxed, and dangerously observant, Jeonghan is Major Crimes' resident enigma. He plays mind games with suspects, ignores procedure, and sports a soft, disarming smile that masks a lethal precision. When Miya catches a fatal flaw in an old evidence log, Jeonghan intercepts her before she can alert Internal Affairs. The logged signature belongs to his missing mentor-and he's convinced the man was framed.

Forced into an unsanctioned, off-the-books alliance, Miya and Jeonghan follow a dangerous paper trail straight into the city's high-society underground. To pull off the ultimate bust, they must go deep undercover as an elite, hyper-devoted couple at a syndicate casino-where fake affection, close quarters, and whisper-soft banter begin to blur the lines between their cover story and reality.

As high-stakes casino games turn into rain-slicked alley gunfights, Miya realizes that in a precinct built on secrets, the most dangerous thing isn't the syndicate hunting them-it's trusting the partner who sees right through her.
