Thirty-Six Hours with the Enemy

Detective Christian Vance has spent two years chasing Nathan Sterling, the beautiful, impossible suspect who turns every crime scene into a private dare. Now Nathan is chained across from him in Interrogation Room 4, exhausted, cornered, and finally close enough to break. But the closer Christian gets to the truth, the more Nathan’s fear feels like invitation—and the room itself begins to feel wrong. Tropes: enemies to lovers, cat and mouse, forced proximity, morally gray heroes. Ends with HFN. Closed door. Content notes: violence, captivity, psychological manipulation.
