Two broken pasts. One locked cage. A truth too dangerous to forget.
Officer Dani Morales doesn't remember much before age twelve-just the brutal scars of a childhood tragedy no one can fully explain. But when she's assigned to South Ridge Correctional Facility, she comes face-to-face with an inmate whose blue eyes make her chest tighten and her memories stir.
Mateo Reyes killed a man. That much is clear. But behind the quiet intensity and cold stares lies something else-something Dani can't name. They don't recognize each other. Not completely. But their souls remember what their minds have buried.
One month into his sentence, Mateo is already planning his escape.
Dani? She's starting to question everything-her badge, her past, and the strange pull she feels toward a criminal who might hold the key to the truth she's spent her life running from.
When secrets resurface and the walls begin to crack, both of them will have to decide: trust the system, or trust the bond they've forgotten.
And when a memory can kill you... what happens when it comes back?

The Painting
"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Complete
