Writing her up. Dragging her out. Dropping her off. The cop who's supposed to follow the rules- But breaks every single one when it comes to her. He promised he'd take care of her. But every time he sees her like this- Drunk. High. With the wrong guy. Something inside him cracks. She's the girl who doesn't want to be saved. He's the man who's breaking himself trying. He touches when he shouldn't. Stays when he should walk away. And looks at her like she's already his. The more he protects her, the harder it is to pretend he doesn't want her.

He built his life on discipline. She survived on charm. Their secret affair was a collision of two different worlds. What began as a stolen glance quickly became an intoxicating addiction. He saw a wounded soul only he could understand. She saw a stable future only he could provide. But as their hidden relationship deepened, so did the lies. Was her vulnerability real, or a carefully crafted performance? Was his devotion true love, or just the thrill of playing the hero? Trapped between his family's growing suspicions and her desperate need for control, he slowly started to lose himself. This is not a fairy tale. It's the story of an ordinary man caught in an extraordinary web of manipulation, and the painful journey he must take to untangle his self-worth from her deception. The greatest battle isn't for her heart-it's for his own peace of mind. To discover whether he finds the strength to choose himself, follow his compelling journey to its powerful conclusion.
