Ethan Blackwood has always been good at keeping secrets.

To his colleagues, he is a respected police officer with an impeccable record. To his wife, he is a devoted husband. Calm, polite, disciplined, and seemingly incapable of crossing a line.

Then there is you.

A prisoner under his watch.

At first, Ethan's attention seems harmless. A few extra questions. A few unexpected visits. A lingering glance that lasts a second too long.

But something about you has caught his attention in a way he can't quite explain.

The more time passes, the harder it becomes to tell where professional duty ends and something far more personal begins.

Ethan has a reputation to protect, a marriage to preserve, and a career he refuses to lose.

And yet, every time he looks at you, that carefully constructed life seems a little harder to maintain.

There is something he isn't telling you.

The question is...

How long can he keep his two worlds from colliding?
