The Dangerous Line: A Dark Contemporary Romance

By EDEN BLACKWELL

Kabir lives by one rule: don't get attached. It's kept him alive through bullets, bargains, and the kind of silence that stains your hands.
Rhea lives by a sharper one: tell the truth, even when it bleeds. When a flash drive lands in her care-evidence that could collapse a crime syndicate-she refuses to look away.
Assigned to protect her, Kabir can't keep her quiet... or keep his distance. In a safehouse that reeks of old books and hidden weapons, they negotiate every boundary like a vow-because fear is not consent, and desire shouldn't be a coping mechanism.
Then the worst truth surfaces: Kabir planted the evidence. He expected her hatred.
Instead, she demands something far more dangerous-trust with open eyes, safety with real choice, and a line they cross only together... while the city closes in.
