She doesn’t belong in his world, but her light is the only one his darkness bows to.
Amber is a new correctional nurse. This job was supposed to be routine—medications, charts, and clinical detachment. Instead she finds herself under the stare of Tyler, a convict with danger inked on his skin and a look more lethal than his hands.
He’s the one she can’t ignore…
And the one she’s forbidden to want.
When a riot erupts, Tyler doesn’t just stand between Amber and the violence, but wields it on anyone who dares to threaten her.
There’s no turning back once his hands are bloodied, and nothing will stop his obsession.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC Review
This was such a great read — I absolutely loved it from start to finish. Even as a shorter book, it grabbed my attention immediately and held it the entire way through. The pacing was tight, the writing flowed beautifully, and the overall storyline was genuinely captivating.
What really stood out to me was how quickly I connected with the characters. Despite the shorter length, they felt well developed and emotionally engaging, which made the story hit even harder. I found myself invested in their journey far more than I expected.
Overall, this is an excellent book with heart, tension, and some sexy written moments. It may be a quick read, but it leaves a strong impression. A well-deserved five stars

About the Author
As a nurse who worked in the correctional system, I have stories to tell. I love weaving light through the dark, and good through evil. My characters are deep and emotional, my worlds are vivid, and by the end of my books you WILL feel something.
