There are lines you don’t cross. And then there are the ones you don’t even let yourself see.
Cara knows her place. Efficient. Composed. Invisible when she needs to be. Very good at staying exactly where she should be.
Especially around people like Captain Alex Shaw.
Controlled. Untouchable. Precise. The kind of woman who doesn’t make mistakes—and doesn’t invite them either.
Working together is easy.
Too easy.
Because somewhere in the routine, something shifts. A shared rhythm that feels a little too natural. A glance that lingers a fraction too long. A moment that almost becomes something else.
Cara tells herself it’s nothing.
It has to be.
Because in a job where everything is seen… being noticed is a risk she can’t afford.
And Alex?
She notices everything.
This isn’t just about boundaries.
It’s about what happens when one of them stops looking away.
Because some lines… once crossed… don’t let you go.

I enjoyed this book but found, as I'm sure most English -speakers would, slight irritation by the disjointed narrative style, caused mainly by the lack of the basic article "the" at the beginning of sentences, which created a narrative of lazy English and disjointed from the reader's mental narrative. I was also disappointed by the unsatisfactory ending - Alex and Cara wanting each other but leaving it hanging unresolved? Sorry for the spoiler.....
