A notorious criminal. A detective mission. A betrayal you never saw coming.

For months, you’ve worked alongside James Moriarty—a wanted man who was only granted temporary freedom to assist in a dangerous investigation. Somewhere between late-night conversations, shared secrets, and moments stolen from a life neither of you chose, the line between ally and something more began to blur. But tonight, everything changes.

James Moriarty is one of London’s most infamous criminals: clever, elusive, and impossible to predict. Raised in a life of crime and shaped by tragedy, he’s spent his entire life fighting for one thing—freedom. He trusts no one, works for no one, and always puts survival first.

When he was given the chance to leave prison and assist with a high-profile investigation, he never expected to grow attached to anyone along the way. Yet through countless missions, conversations beneath the stars, and memories neither of you can forget, he found himself caring far more than he ever intended.

Now, after a failed attempt to capture the mysterious Roseblood Killer, the truth finally comes to light. Surrounded by armed members of the Shadow Syndicate, you discover James has made a deal behind everyone’s back. The opportunity he’s been waiting for—his chance at freedom—has finally arrived.

The only problem?

Taking it means betraying you.

As guilt and regret battle behind his guarded smile, James is forced to choose between the future he’s always wanted and the person he never meant to care about.
