A Thin Blue Line Between Lust and Hate

Some lines are meant to be crossed. Others... should never be touched. Alisha Clark doesn't scare easily. She's built her life on control; measured choices, steady ambition, and never letting desire cloud her judgment. But all it takes is one look to unravel everything she thought she knew about herself.Because he isn't just any man. He's the law. The line. The mistake she can't afford to make. Detective Simmons has spent his career walking the razor's edge between right and wrong, duty and instinct. He knows better than to blur the boundaries, knows exactly what it could cost him. His badge. His reputation. Everything.But nothing has ever tested him like her. What begins as a spark quickly ignites into something far more dangerous: an attraction that refuses to be ignored, a connection neither of them can explain... and a pull that feels as reckless as it is inevitable. Yet beneath the heat lies something darker. Secrets. Unanswered questions. And a truth neither of them is ready for. Because the closer they get, the more the lines begin to blur between desire and control... trust and betrayal... lust and hate.And when that line finally breaks? Someone will lose everything.
