We thought we were prepared for this, but nothing could have prepared us for the depths of the underworld we're now trapped in.

As the case unravels, it pulls us further down, deeper into a world of ruthless traffickers who will stop at nothing to protect their empire. Every step we take brings us closer to the truth, but it also brings us face-to-face with the dangers I've spent my life running from. The line between duty and desire is blurring, and the stakes are higher than ever.

Zayn's presence is a lifeline, his unwavering protection a comfort I never thought I'd have. But the closer we get, the harder it becomes to keep my emotions in check. His touch, his gaze—it's all too much, too fast. I want him, but can I truly embrace the love he's offering when I'm still haunted by the shadows of my past?

The pressure is mounting from every angle, and it's starting to feel like we're fighting not just for survival, but for the chance at something real between us. Our chemistry is undeniable, but can I trust it? Can I trust myself?

With danger closing in, I know I can't do this without him. Zayn has been my anchor through everything, and now, more than ever, we'll have to rely on each other—because this time, it's not just our lives on the line. It's our hearts, too.

In Book 10, the stakes have never been higher. And for the first time, we'll have to face the darkest parts of our pasts while fighting for the future we both want.
