A slow burn, forbidden love Romantic Suspense. After my father’s death, I made one promise to myself: stay in control. No slip-ups. No distractions. Emotions only get you hurt—or worse, compromised. I thought I was doing everything right. Law school, top of my class, and now an internship at the most prestigious firm in the city. Winston & Partners was supposed to be my way forward. Then came the blackmail case. And him. The defendant wasn’t what I expected—gentle and strong in the kind of way that didn’t need to be loud. He wasn’t supposed to matter. But he did. Because he’d saved me once… and something in me refused to believe he was the villain in this story. But as I get closer to the truth, someone else steps into my life. Charming. Powerful. The kind of man who makes you feel seen... and then slowly pulls the ground out from under you. With him, the lines between desire and danger start to blur. He’s everything I was taught to stay away from—but by the time I realize it, it might be too late. Now I’m trapped between two men. One who’s been branded the criminal. And one who’s hiding what he really is. I thought I knew how to tell right from wrong. I thought I could control this. But when the truth threatens everything—my future, my safety, and the man I’m falling for—I have to choose. Do I follow the path I’ve always planned… or risk everything? Perfect for fans of protective bad boys and high-stakes romance, In Between is an addictive multi-POV tale of dark secrets, slow-burn chemistry, and betrayal.
