His Only Witness

“Where’d he go, love?”

Layla Hart is just trying to survive another graveyard shift at The Grind—bad coffee, worse customers, and the kind of exhaustion that lives in your bones. But one late-night question from the wrong man flips her life upside down.

Because Layla becomes the only witness to something she was never supposed to see.

And the people responsible don’t leave witnesses behind.

Enter Marcus Kane—an undercover cop with a guarded past and a killer instinct for danger. He’s spent months hunting a crime syndicate from the shadows… but he didn’t plan on dragging a sharp-tongued waitress into the middle of it. Now Layla is a target, Marcus is outnumbered, and the only way to keep her alive is to run.

Anonymous safe houses. Cheap motels. Backroads and bad decisions.
Forced proximity turns into stolen moments, blistering tension, and a trust neither of them can afford—but both of them crave.

Because the deeper they go, the uglier the truth gets: betrayal doesn’t just live in the criminal world… it lives in the system meant to protect them.

And if Layla’s testimony is the key to taking them down, it might also be the thing that destroys them both.
