Atty. Kimberly Jane Wencezlao is a successful Defense Attorney and a Political Science Professor at Saigon University. Everything in her life runs on order. Her days move on a perfect schedule, her meals are measured, her workouts never skipped. Her work ethic is rigid, earning her respect in the courtrooms and fear in the lecture hall. Her rare smile appears only when the cameras do, because she is the only daughter of the honorable Judge Holt Wencezlao. The two things that matter most to her are being the best and being her father's perfect daughter. She has always done as he says, even dating the man her father approved for her, though deep inside she knew he was not the one. She believed this was the life she was meant to live-until Elijah Pierceton walked into her lecture hall and threatened to ruin the order she built.

She should slap him for how he makes her feel. But damn it, he awakens a part of her she thought had dried up long ago. And his wicked ways make her wonder if, for the very first time in her life, disobedience might be worth it.
