WATTYS AWARD WINNER ☘️🥳🥳 30.10.2019 #1 femminismo #3 giallo; #59 storie d'amore QUEST'OPERA È COPERTA DAL COPYRIGHT. QUALUNQUE VIOLAZIONE È PERSEGUIBILE DALLA LEGGE E COMPORTA RESPONSABILITÀ CIVILE E PENALE A CARICO DEI TRASGRESSORI. E' nell'ordine naturale delle cose l'equilibrio tra tesi e antitesi: il bianco ed il nero, il giorno e la notte, il bene ed il male, forze contrapposte che trovano nell'altro la loro ragion d'essere, rette parallele destinate a non incrociarsi mai. Ma ad ogni regola la sua eccezione: due entità opposte sono destinate a incontrarsi, o come accadde a Lorenzo e a Marta, a scontrarsi. Un uomo ed una donna e nel loro caso, un maschilista ed una femminista. Entrambi ambiziosi avvocati penalisti che per una serie di sfortunati eventi si ritroveranno a collaborare prima nello stesso studio, poi allo stesso caso. E non a un caso qualsiasi, ma l'omicidio di una donna con segni di violenza sessuale. E quando l'estremo del maschio s'imbatte in quello della femmina, allora è guerra. "Quando incontrò per la prima volta Lorenzo Anselmi, Marta ebbe la prova che dio fosse uomo. Non poteva credere che fosse donna, perché una donna non le avrebbe mai inferto un colpo così basso. Quel giorno si verificò la cosa peggiore che potesse mai accadere ad una come lei: incontrare un maschilista."

"To have her in his bed, in his arms, with her breath on his neck and her hair tickling the corners of his mouth -- he was finally able to think of his life as not only just a dark hole of violence. Maybe, just maybe, his life could mean something more." || mature hs fanfic. Cover credit to @pillow-case © highstylin
