As a new nurse practitioner at a men’s maximum-security prison, Brooke Sullivan is bound by three essential rules:
1) Treat all prisoners with dignity and respect.
2) Safeguard personal information at all costs.
3) Maintain a strictly professional distance from the inmates.
However, unbeknownst to the prison staff, Brooke has already violated these rules. Concealed from everyone is her deeply personal connection to Shane Nelson, one of the institution’s most infamous and dangerous inmates.
What remains a secret is that Shane was Brooke’s high school sweetheart—the celebrated quarterback who now serves a life sentence for a series of brutal murders, with Brooke’s testimony sealing his fate.
But while the staff remains unaware, Shane harbors this knowledge.
And he harbors it with an unyielding memory that will never fade.
