Book Description
He’s a convicted killer.
I’m his nurse.
And he saw my bruises.
just to see that I’m safe.
As a prison nurse, I keep my heart locked away tighter than the men I treat.
No gray areas.
No second chances.
Especially not after escaping my abusive ex.
Then Knox Blackwood, the most dangerous man in the prison, winds up in my infirmary.
Whatever he did to get locked up remains the prison’s darkest secret.
He should terrify me.
Instead, he sees what no one else does.
The scars.
The flinch when a door slams.
The fear I can’t bury.
“Who hurt you?” he growls.
When I don’t answer, Knox starts showing up in my infirmary every day.
New wounds.
Suspicious injuries.
Getting hurt on purpose,
just for five minutes with me.
Just to make sure I’m safe.
I tell myself I can’t fall for an inmate.
I won’t.
Especially not one who’s now harboring a violent vendetta against my ex.
But every stolen touch feels like salvation.
And every whispered promise paves the road to our future.
Knox is one parole hearing from freedom.
If we stay careful, maybe he’ll get out.
Reunite with his daughter.
And we’ll have a life beyond these walls.
All I have to do
is keep Knox from killing the man who hurt me.
That’s the plan.
Until my violent ex steps into the prison
as Knox’s new guard…

My Thoughts
Trust by Kathy Lockheart—brought to life through an extraordinary, deeply intense duet audio performance by Megan Wicks and Aiden Snow—is an absolute masterpiece of angst, dark romantic suspense, and emotional redemption that delivers a heart-wrenching, explosive final installment to the Sinners and Saints series.
The story centers on Harper, a guarded prison nurse who keeps her heart locked away behind ironclad boundaries to survive after escaping a horrific, abusive past. Her rigid resolve is put to the test when Knox Blackwood, the prison’s most dangerous and feared inmate, enters her infirmary. While his mysterious past remains the prison's darkest secret, Knox's dark, intimidating presence hides a fiercely observant soul. The six-foot-four, tattooed murder convict instantly notices what everyone else misses—the hidden scars, the slight flinch when doors slam, and the deep-seated fear Harper tries so hard to bury. Driven by a primal, protective instinct, Knox begins intentionally getting injured on purpose just to earn five stolen minutes in the infirmary with her to ensure she is safe. As their taboo, forbidden connection deepens, Knox's unhinged "touch her and die" intensity becomes a source of unexpected comfort for Harper, awakening a hope that maybe they can survive until Knox's upcoming parole hearing, allowing him to regain freedom, reunite with his estranged daughter, and build a real future together. However, their fragile dreams are thrown into absolute chaos when Harper’s violent ex-partner unexpectedly steps inside the prison walls as Knox’s new correctional guard, sparking a high-stakes, nerve-shredding game of survival where every decision threatens Knox's chance at freedom.
Lockheart crafts a masterclass in high-tension storytelling, weaving together evil, genius plot twists and deep emotional catharsis that will leave readers utterly breathless and emotionally wrecked. The contrast between Knox’s terrifying reputation and his utter devotion to Harper is breathtaking; he softens his roughest edges for her, worships the ground she walks on, and finds the inspiration to become the father his daughter deserves. Meanwhile, Harper’s journey of healing from trauma and reclaiming her inner strength complements Knox’s internal transformation, making their souls fit together with flawless precision. Balancing maximum-level suspense with fierce found-family moments from Knox’s group of unhinged billionaire best friends, the narrative delivers a raw, deeply earned happily ever after that feels like pure salvation.
Megan Wicks and Aiden Snow elevate the audiobook to perfection with their phenomenal duet narration. Wicks captures Harper’s delicate balance of guarded vulnerability, fierce resilience, and emotional healing with incredible nuance, while Snow delivers Knox with his signature deep, rumbling rasp, effortless swagger, and fiercely protective warmth. Heartbreaking, raw, and pulse-pounding from start to finish, Trust is an un-put-downable, emotional rollercoaster that leaves a lasting impression and cements Lockheart as a premier voice in romantic suspense.
