Arrest me, Officer

They say the past should stay where it belongs.

Buried.

Forgotten.

Left behind.

But what happens when the person you tried so hard to forget suddenly comes back?

Arliz Natalie thought she had already moved on.

She had spent years learning how to live with the memories she refused to talk about, the fear she couldn't explain, and the nightmares that never completely disappeared. She built a life for herself, surrounded by the people who stayed when everything fell apart.

Then Kalen Rehan Arguello came back.

The boy she once loved.

The boy who left without looking back.

The boy she promised herself she would never need again.

But Rehan's return isn't the only thing that brings her past back.

One place.

One mistake.

One buried truth.

And suddenly, the memories she spent years running away from begin to surface again.

Rehan doesn't understand why Natalie is afraid of him.

He doesn't understand why she always stays close to Gabriel.

He doesn't understand why the girl he remembers is no longer the same girl standing in front of him.

Until he finds out what happened.

And when he learns the truth, everything changes.

Because Rehan isn't the kind of man who can simply walk away after discovering that someone hurt the girl he once loved.

He wants answers.

He wants justice.

But sometimes, the line between justice and revenge is thinner than anyone realizes.

Natalie wants to forget.

Rehan wants to remember.

She wants peace.

He wants someone to pay.

And between the badge, the law, the secrets, and the feelings they thought were long gone, they will discover that some people are impossible to escape.

Especially the ones your heart never really stopped loving.

So if loving me is a crime...

then, Officer,

why don't you arrest me?
