DiJonai Carrington thought she had her future mapped out until injuries forced her to walk away from the WNBA before her career could truly begin.
Back in her hometown of San Diego, she's tried to rebuild a life outside the spotlight, finding comfort in the familiar arms of her girlfriend, NaLyssa Smith, who still shines in the league. Every offseason, NaLyssa comes home. But this year, something feels different. Colder, heavier, and dangerous in ways DiJonai can't ignore.
Y/N Taylor is a decorated special agent with a reputation for taking on the toughest cases. Military trained, CIA-tested, FBI-proven, Y/N has seen it all.
From high-profile manhunts to breaking international rings. Now stationed in San Diego to close one of her biggest cases yet, she doesn't expect her path to cross with DiJonai's.
But when a domestic violence case lands on her desk, Y/N finds herself pulled into DiJonai's world. What begins as an investigation quickly sparks into something deeper. A connection neither woman saw coming, tangled in heartbreak, healing, and an undeniable pull toward each other.
