Calculated Risks

"I didn't pick his file because he was just another case. I picked him because he's the dangerous, unpredictable variable everyone warned me to avoid."

Aspen is a skilled FBI field operative with a single, high-stakes assignment: step into a maximum-security prison, evaluate Case 037 a brilliant, possessive killer named Harry and determine if his razor-sharp mind can be used for Bureau operations.

She has eight sessions to break him. Eight sessions to survive the intense gaze, the low-voiced threats, and the suffocating tension inside Room 4.

But Harry doesn't play by FBI rules, and he certainly doesn't plan on being managed. From the moment Aspen walks through the steel doors, the line between operative and prey begins to vanish, replaced by a dangerous, pull-you-under chemistry neither of them can control. He doesn't want redemption he wants her. And he will stop at nothing to strip away her professional armor piece by piece.

In a game where every word is a negotiation and every touch is a line crossed, who is really playing whom?
