Maybe not for you if...

You prefer straightforward plots without manipulation or moral ambiguity.
You're looking for a traditional romance with a happy ending.
You want a thriller focused on external action rather than psychological games and character secrets.

About this book

Brooke Sullivan begins work as a nurse practitioner at a men's maximum-security prison, where she must follow three rules: treat all prisoners with respect, never reveal personal information, and never become too friendly with inmates. However, Brooke has already broken these rules. She shares an intimate connection with Shane Nelson, one of the prison's most dangerous inmates. Shane was her high school sweetheart—a star quarterback now serving a life sentence for a series of murders. Brooke's testimony was instrumental in his conviction. Shane knows the truth about their past. And he will never forget.
