SHE CAME TO DESTROY EVERYTHING HE BUILT. HE SPENT THREE YEARS MAKING SURE SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD.
Valentina Cruz doesn't lose cases. In five years in Miami, she built a reputation with a 93% conviction rate by following the money-no matter where it led. When she's transferred to New York to spearhead a forty-seven-million-dollar money laundering case, she knows it's the kind of prosecution that defines a career.
Then, she opens the wrong door.
The man inside the room is holding a document that shouldn't exist outside of a locked safe. He looks at her for three seconds. He folds the paper. He waits . - Wrong floor, she says. - Clearly, he responds. She closes the door.
Marco Nardini isn't the kind of criminal who gets his hands dirty. He is the architect of The Prism, the man who makes forty-seven million dollars vanish into the city's infrastructure without anyone raising their voice . In ten years, no prosecutor has come close enough to prove a thing.
Until her.
What Valentina doesn't know: Marco chose her. He spent weeks studying her cases, her methods, and her conviction rate . He left that door unlocked on purpose. He needed to see what kind of prosecutor she was-the one who follows the rules, or the one who understands that some truths are more complicated than the law allows.
She is both. And that is the problem.
They have four months before she files the charges. Four months of meetings that shouldn't happen, of evidence he is placing directly into her hands, and of something that started as strategy but can no longer be contained by that word .
She swore to put him in prison. She's going to do it . What she didn't swear was what she'd do once he got out .
When Wolves Sleep is a romantic suspense about a federal prosecutor and the man she prosecutes, the four months they have before sentencing, and what it means to love someone whose destruction you built with your own hands.
