She called him out in public. He had her arrested.
So why is the mob’s favorite defense attorney determined to protect her in private?

Kalie Marshall has never backed down from a fight. Not in the courtroom, not on the track, and certainly not when her family’s reputation is on the line. Her Harvard Law degree may impress a jury, but her loyalty—unyielding, stubborn, fierce—is what truly defines her.

Which is why she’s stunned when her beloved family doesn’t lift a finger the moment she’s arrested after confronting Declan Conian, the dangerously gorgeous mob defense attorney she refuses to be intimidated by.

But no one knows the this isn’t the first time their paths have crossed. But when she finds out the truth about him, she's devastated no one informed her sooner. After all, Declan may look cold and unreachable in his custom suits, but Kalie quickly appreciates he’s not indifferent—he’s cooly passionate. And just as determined as she is to uncover the truth buried beneath years of lies and corruption as the truth places Kalie directly in the crosshairs of the mob. A truth that turns Declan from her enemy into the only man she can trust.

As danger closes in, Kalie and Declan’s chemistry ignites into something neither can deny. Enemies turn to confidants, confidants turn to partners, and partners become something deeper—something that terrifies them both.

Kalie can see a future with Declan.Declan would burn the world to keep her safe. But when the final verdict comes, Kalie must decide can she judge their love fairly or will the truth condemn them both?
