<p><b>He hasn't spoken a word since the night of the murder. She's the only one he'll break his silence for.</b></p><p>Forensic psychologist Dr. Sloane Vega has built her life on one rule: stay behind the glass. Read the dead, render them legible, never let the work touch you. Then the court hands her Cassian Moreno-Vautrin - heir to a crime dynasty, accused of killing his own uncle, and silent since the night it happened - and gives her twenty-one days to decide whether he's fit to stand trial. <i>Competent</i> means a needle. Sloane holds his life in her pen.</p><p>He won't speak to anyone. He chose her.</p><p>What begins as an evaluation becomes a dangerous game of traded truths - one confession for one secret - across a bolted table in a room with no camera. But the closer Sloane gets to why a man would rather die than defend himself, the closer she gets to a truth that will cost her everything: the killer isn't the man in the cage, and the silence she's fighting to break is the only thing holding her own family upright.</p><p>Some men inherit power. Some earn loyalty. The most dangerous ones love you - and let you destroy yourself to do it.</p><p><i>A slow-burn dark mafia romance. Standalone with a hopeful ending. Mature themes - reader discretion advised.</i></p>
