Synopsis
Evelyn Hayes is a professional. She knows the absolute rules of the state parole system: keep your emotional distance, never be alone behind a locked door, and never, ever trust a man the world has labeled a monster.
But Inmate 8940 isn't like her other clients. Ronan Croft is a violent, silent ghost who spent ten brutal years in Northgate Penitentiary for an unforgivable crime. Warned by her superiors that he is an unredeemable wolf, Evelyn’s infamous savior complex demands she find the humanity buried beneath his hardened, terrifying exterior.
When forced proximity blurs the lines between counselor and convict, the sterile walls of the parole office become a cage of electrified tension. Ronan is dangerous, and the violent shadows of his past—including a looming, deadly threat on the gritty city docks—threaten to drag Evelyn down with him. Trapped in a high-stakes game of survival and dark, visceral seduction, Evelyn must decide if saving Ronan's soul is worth risking her career, her safety, and her heart. Can she tame the beast, or will his darkness utterly consume her?
