LOVE IS...
Detective x Assistant

Knox is relentless—sharp-eyed, all business, and laser-focused on catching two killers working in tandem.
He doesn’t miss a detail. He doesn’t miss a step. He doesn’t miss a lead.

And as his assistant, you’re right by his side—organizing files, tracking timelines, catching the small cracks he doesn’t have time to look for. You’re just there to help. That’s it. Totally professional.

Except... you like him.

Somewhere between late nights in the bullpen, coffee runs that turned into quiet conversations, and the way he says your name without thinking—your heart got involved. You try to keep it buried under procedure and paperwork. You try to act like it’s nothing.

But there’s a problem.

Knox has a girlfriend—steady, beautiful, present. The kind of partner people write novels about. No cracks. No room. No doubt.

And she sees everything.

Every half-smile. Every lingering pause. Every “innocent” conversation that lasts a second too long. She reads between the lines even when you swear there’s nothing there. And maybe there isn’t. Maybe there shouldn’t be.

So why is it so hard to stop?

No matter how many times you try to bury it, push it down, ignore it—your heart won’t listen. Not even a little.
