She thinks she's saving him. He knows he's destroying her. Dr. Eleanor Hart has built her career on rehabilitating dangerous criminals. But Killian has secrets darker than sin, and isn't here for rehabilitation back into the outside world. He orchestrated his house arrest to get close to the brilliant psychologist who haunts his every thought. The woman whose father's death hangs like a noose around his neck. Trapped in her secluded home, professional boundaries crumble. Eleanor fights to maintain distance while her body betrays her with every heated glance. Killian knows he should run, every moment is another lie, another betrayal. But when shadows from his past emerge to claim what's his, he'll discover that some obsessions are worth burning the world to protect. In a game where love and vengeance intertwine, the greatest danger isn't falling for your enemy. It's not knowing they're your enemy at all.
