The Guard and The Guilty

The Guard and the Guilty is a dark, emotionally charged young adult romance that follows Angelica Miller, a 25-year-old married prison guard whose world shatters after discovering her husband's betrayal. For years, Angelica lived a picture-perfect life-married to her high school sweetheart, working a stable job in a male prison, and believing in law, loyalty, and love. But everything changes when she catches Eric, her husband, in bed with another woman.

As her home life crumbles and Eric's affection turns to cruelty, Angelica finds unexpected solace behind the prison walls-specifically in the presence of Jax "J" Archer, a heavily tattooed, dangerously charming inmate with five years left on a twenty-year sentence. Jax sees through her pain and offers her something she hasn't felt in a long time: confidence, attention, and warmth.

Their connection deepens with every shift, every stolen glance, and every forbidden touch, but falling for an inmate is a line no guard is ever supposed to cross. Torn between duty and desire, Angelica must confront what she truly wants-and how far she's willing to fall to find freedom in the most unlikely place.
