Paul McGregor was a pillar of Copeland City.

A beloved friend. A quiet hero who fed and sheltered the city's most vulnerable youth. No one had a bad word to say about him.

Until the night he was found in his bed.

Tortured. Dismembered. Dead.

Now he's on my table in the morgue, and his case has landed on Detective Archer Malone's desk.

Before Archer can begin the investigation, Paul's killers walk into the precinct and confess.

Case closed?

Not even close.

Something about their story doesn't sit right.

As Archer and I dig deeper, the lines between justice and vengeance blur.

Our relationship burns hotter than ever, but so does danger—especially with Copeland's vigilante still lurking in the shadows.

Is Archer protecting me? Or delaying the inevitable?

He knows my secrets now.

Knows everything I've buried deep.

But will his loyalty to the badge destroy what we've built? Or will love survive the truth?
