What could an ex-con running a program for troubled teens and a privileged debutante from New York City have in common? Tito and Caylee are about to find out, as things heat up in Miami. Convicted at 17 of drug and gang-related charges, Tito Martinez spent eight years in prison. Now he's out, and has made a fresh start running a non-profit diversion program taking kids out of the juvenile justice system to give them the chance he never had. Tito grew up poor, the son of a struggling single mom who was rejected by her wealthy high school boyfriend and disowned by her parents when she became pregnant with Tito and his twin sister. He has no patience for people who get everything handed to them on a silver platter, and the last person he ever thought he would be attracted to is a privileged debutante form New York City. Caylee Chandler grew up with plenty of wealth and privilege. But as the rebel of her staid NYC society family, she's never felt that she fit in. One year after law school she's bored to tears by her high-paying job at a New York securities law firm, where she spends long hours behind a desk all day, then has to thwart her mother's constant efforts to pair her up with "appropriate" eligible bachelors. The chance for a job working at her cousin's personal injury law firm in Miami is the opportunity she's been waiting for to escape her structured life and start fresh. But part of her past isn't so easily brushed aside, and moving to Miami may not be far enough to escape a threat that's been giving her sleepless nights. When Tito and Caylee meet, an attraction neither of them was looking for catches them completely by surprise. Will the flames of opposites attract burn through their reluctance to let this be anything but a casual fling and keep them together? Or will the sparks fizzle out when reality sets in? This stand-alone contemporary romance is Book #4 - the final book - in the Miami Lawyers series.

His body was as powerful and sexual as I remembered it, he had gotten another tattoo on his shoulder since the last time, a few more scars then I remembered on his chest. His back rippled with muscles as he pulled on a fresh white shirt, my eyes transfixed as he took his time buttoning it up. Somehow it was almost more of a turn on watching him put on his clothes than him taking them off, almost. He wiped the blood off his hands with a kitchen apron in a slow steady motion and I pressed myself back against the wall when his eyes focused on me. My eyes flittered to the back door and I battled with myself on whether or not I could make it before he caught me, I couldn't. He tossed the apron over an empty sink and stalked towards me slowly, a predator in every sense of the word and my eyes drifted to the bloody mess of a man on the kitchen floor, was that going to be me in a second? He stopped just in front of me and reached out to stroke my cheek and I closed my eyes, leaning into his touch despite knowing better. My eyes snapped open when he grabbed my chin tightly and forced me to look at him, was this it, was he going to snap my neck and dispose of my body now? "Touch another man again, and I will kill you" his voice was low and promising and I swallowed as he let go of my chin, pressing a rough kiss to my lips before grabbing my elbow and dragging me out of the kitchen. So much for that arrangement...

"He doesn't see you the way I do. He doesn't see the broken girl inside, a soul that just wants to be loved, protected, needed. But I do. I see you because I've made it my every damn mission to." His eyes held mine with a piercing stare. My breath caught in the back of my throat. "And you know what? I'd do it again, and again, and again, until you realise just how fucking badly I need you." Avery Watkins hasn't always had it easy. Growing up with both parents struggling with addiction and trying to find her place in the world, she doesn't have much trust in others. So when Sonny, her current boyfriend comes along, he is positive, caring and everything she thinks she needs. That is until she comes head to head with Sonny's flatmate, Harrison Shaw. Harrison is a lot of things but positive isn't one of them. He is quiet, mysterious and equally as guarded as Avery. Not only that, he forces Avery to dance with the ghosts of her past whilst also uncovering his own. But Avery soon finds out that what she has needed all along is right under her nose, or more specifically, in the bedroom next door. And the wall between them may not be as thick as she believes.
