Ryland is one of the best interrogators in the country. His methods are brutal, callous, and effective. But he has a secret: he's in love with a rebel. Or at least he was, until Cooper disappeared three years ago. Now, the facility is starting a new trial using "chipped" workers, captured rebels who have been turned into docile slaves. And Ryland's assigned worker is none other than Coop. This is the ninth book in the 12 Months of Whump series. Each month in 2025, look out for a new standalone whumpy book!
