Collateral Hearts (en Inglés) - Scarlet Rose

Some truths are meant to be buried. Some loves refuse to stay quiet. Investigative journalist Selena Moore has built her career exposing corruption without becoming part of the fallout-until one story pulls her too close to a system designed to protect itself at any cost. What begins as quiet resistance escalates into professional sabotage, personal invasion, and a warning she can't ignore: stop digging or lose everything. When former detective Rick Calder steps in, he recognizes the danger immediately. He's seen how power erases people. He's lived with the consequences of crossing the wrong lines. What he doesn't expect is Selena's refusal to retreat-or the way protecting her becomes something far more personal. As pressure turns violent and secrets start spilling blood, Selena and Rick are forced into a brutal choice: walk away and survive quietly, or expose the truth and accept the cost that comes with it. Because in a world built on leverage, silence, and fear, justice isn't clean-and love is never safe. Together, they ignite a reckoning no one can contain. And when the system strikes back, it doesn't just target the truth. It targets the heart. Collateral Hearts is a gripping crime romance filled with danger, heat, sharp dialogue, and emotional depth-where love becomes the most dangerous form of resistance, and survival means choosing each other when the cost is everything.
