THE SUBJECT

Blair Monroe was only trying to fix a bureaucratic mistake.

Then the system started watching her.

A withheld certificate. A data profile she never consented to. A trail of financial discrepancies that pulls her into a federal investigation she was never supposed to touch.

Special Agent Nate Mercer has one job: follow the numbers.

He does not expect them to lead to Blair-or to the private searches that reveal far more about her than she ever intended anyone to know.

Precise, controlled, and already holding information she never chose to give him, Nate is the last person Blair should trust.

He is also the first person who actually listens.

As the investigation tightens and the line between observation and intimacy begins to blur, Blair has to decide whether the man who sees her most clearly is the safest person in the room...

or the one who already knows exactly how to break her trust.

THE SUBJECT is a dual-POV slow-burn romantic suspense thriller about surveillance, power, institutional secrets, and the dangerous intimacy of being truly known.
