The lines we crossed
Some lines should never be crossed. But what happens when they are?
At Riverview Correctional Facility, newly appointed correctional officers Marcus Reed and Nia Carter are determined to build careers they can be proud of. They know the rules. They know the risks. And they believe they know where the line is.
Then they meet Lynia Williams and Tasha Monroe.
Lynia is guarded, observant, and far more complicated than she appears. Tasha is bold, calculating, and skilled at reading the people around her. As the two inmates begin testing the newest officers, small conversations become personal, favors become dangerous, and professional boundaries begin to blur.
Marcus finds himself drawn toward Lynia despite every warning he has been given. Nia develops an unexpected connection with Tasha, even as something deeper begins to pull her toward Marcus.
Soon, secrets are being kept. Questions are going unanswered. And someone is watching.
What begins as attraction and curiosity turns into a dangerous game involving manipulation, trust, jealousy, and consequences that none of them can control.
And when Lynia and Tasha finally walk out of Riverview's gates, Marcus and Nia discover something terrifying:
Release doesn't necessarily mean freedom.
The walls may be gone.
The secrets aren't.
THE LINE WE CROSSED is a psychological thriller filled with slow-burn romantic tension, prison drama, complicated relationships, betrayal, and a final twist that opens the door to Book Two.
Love. Betrayal. Secrets. Consequences.
Some connections can't be contained.
