Secrets In Shadows

by Daisy Grace

Partnering with Lila Harper was never in the mission brief.
She’s sharp, relentless, and far too dangerous to my defenses.

We’re opposites—her fire to my ice.
But under pressure, friction ignites more than just tension.

Each close call pulls us deeper.
Each glance lingers longer.
What started as necessity has turned into something neither of us can deny.

We promised to keep it professional.
We lied.

Now, between whispers in the dark and touches we can’t take back,
We’re crossing lines with no safe return.

But I’m not who she thinks I am.
Beneath the badge, beneath the mission, there’s a truth I’ve buried deep.

A secret that could shatter everything—
Her trust, the mission, and this fragile thing we’re trying to build.

Because if she finds out who I really am,
I won’t just lose her.
I’ll lose the only chance I’ve ever had at redemption.

And she’ll never see the next betrayal coming—
Because this time, it’s already in motion.
