My Hart to Keep (The Harlequin Hearts Series Book 1)

Thirty-year-old Elara Hart knows the rules of survival inside Blackthorne keep your head down, do your job, and never look the prisoners in the eye. As a cleaner in Pennsylvania’s most notorious maximum-security prison, she’s used to scrubbing away the sins of the state's worst. But nothing prepares her for the arrival of the Jester.

Infamous for orchestrating chaos both inside and outside prison walls, the Jester is volatile, manipulative, and impossible to control. When Elara is assigned to clean his high-security cell, what begins as a series of unsettling encounters quickly spirals into a dangerous game of cat and mouse obsession.

Because even behind bars, the Jester still makes the rules. And he’s decided Elara Hart belongs to him.

And the closer Elara gets to the Jester, the harder it becomes to tell whether she’s terrified… or tempted.
