He arrested the wrong woman. She belongs to the man who controls the city — a man who never lets go. He’s a cop bound by the law. She’s the mistake that could destroy his career. When the threats turn deadly and the law can’t protect her, he makes the only choice left. He marries her. No love. No trust. Just his badge — and her ring. But the closer the danger comes, the harder it becomes to pretend this marriage means nothing. Some vows are meant to protect. Others are meant to ruin you.

I took the job to destroy him. He was supposed to be just another inmate. Dangerous. Violent. Untouchable. I didn’t plan to feel him before I saw him. I didn’t plan to crave the way he watched me— like I was already his. He lives behind bars. I hold the keys. But power isn’t always where you think it is. He knows why I’m here. He knows what I lost. And the closer I get to my revenge, the more I realize the truth: I’m not the one trapping him. He’s already inside me. Some connections don’t ask permission. This was never supposed to happen.
