The city is drowning in blood and smoke, and I'm caught in the middle of it all. My life is supposed to be about saving lives, but right now, I'm just trying to survive. Kareem Ali and I are in too deep—uncovering a sinister plot and racing against time to stop gangsters fueling terror attacks that threaten everything we know. Every move we make is a step closer to disaster, and I know that with each passing hour, the danger isn't just outside—it's right under our skin.

Kareem is more than just a partner in this war; he's a storm, unpredictable, dangerous, and the one person I can't seem to stop wanting. The heat between us burns in the shadows of every mission, in the quiet moments when we're alone, when the lines between duty and desire blur. It's impossible to ignore, impossible to fight. Every touch feels like a risk, every stolen glance a promise I know I shouldn't want.

But the city needs us. The violence we're fighting is relentless, and our mission is bigger than our feelings—yet every time we face the chaos together, the fire between us grows. And I'm afraid it's already too late for us to turn back.

In this world of endless bloodshed, where every decision could lead to death, I don't know if we'll survive the war. But I'm starting to wonder if our connection—this dangerous, forbidden thing between us—will be the very thing that either saves us or destroys us both.
