*Lesbian Smut After witnessing a brutal gang-related shooting, Abby Morris becomes the most important piece in a high-profile case; and the most vulnerable. Becca Hayes has built her career on control. Focused, disciplined, and known for never letting emotion interfere with her work, she's the attorney people trust when the stakes are high and the pressure is higher. So when she's assigned to represent Abby, Becca expects fear, resistance, and long hours preparing a shaken witness for a courtroom she's not ready to face. What she doesn't expect is Abby herself. Quiet and guarded, Abby is the kind of client Becca knows she should keep at a distance; but the more time they spend together, the harder that distance becomes to maintain - and the more Becca finds herself pulled into something far more personal. As the case deepens and the pressure mounts, Becca starts to realize there's more to Abby than what's in the file, and more at stake than a conviction. Because in a case like this, knowing the truth can be dangerous. And trusting the wrong person can be worse.

People came and went-some looking for trouble, others caught in things they shouldn't have been. She'd seen men dragged into the back rooms, beaten up for not paying in time or failing to do their part. And then there was her-the club owner. Cold, calculated, and feared by everyone who walked through the doors. She ran this place with a tight grip, and she didn't tolerate mistakes. No one dared to cross her, not without consequences. And yet, every time their eyes met, something shifted, an unsettling pull that she couldn't quite explain. She didn't know what it meant, or why it unsettled her so much. But one thing was certain: the longer she stayed here, the more complicated everything would become...
