Aamani Lalowa was born in the shadows of New Orleans. A gorgeous woman who fought her way out of violence and abandonment to become one of Manhattan's most promising prosecutors. Archie Walker was born into New York power. Old money, elite education, and a reputation as the city's most feared criminal defense attorney. Charming in public. Psychologically unhinged in private. A master manipulator. Their lives collide in one of the most televised, nationally explosive cases New York has ever seen, and the clash sparks something far darker than rivalry. A dangerous attraction. Twisted interest. But only on one side. Because while Aamani tries to keep her distance, Archie becomes intensely-dangerously-obsessed. An infatuation that evolves into a dark romance with no intention of ever letting her go. Not in this life. Not in any. He is not a good man. And when Aamani realizes she has crossed her moral lines and fallen directly into his trap, she faces a truth far more terrifying than the case itself: Archie Walker doesn't want justice. He wants her. Completely. Possessively. Surviving him may cost her everything-even her life. • ᴀ ᴛᴀʟᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴀ ᴍᴀɴ ᴡʜᴏ ᴅᴏᴇꜱɴ'ᴛ ꜰᴀʟʟ ɪɴ ʟᴏᴠᴇ-ʜᴇ ᴄʟᴀɪᴍꜱ, ᴄᴏɴꜱᴜᴍᴇꜱ, ᴀɴᴅ ᴅᴇꜱᴛʀᴏʏꜱ.

Wonho... Startled awake, I found myself instantly disoriented as a gentle exhale caressed my face, accompanied by a provocative moan that hung in the air. As my gaze met the strangers, I found myself captivated by the cascade of lustrous, ebony curls obscuring half of her face. Even in the dim light, her flawless caramel-brown complexion emanated a radiant glow, accentuated by her tantalizingly moist, full lips that held me spellbound. As I watched her, her lips glistened with a delicate pink hue, tempting me to lean in and taste their sweetness. Lost in my thoughts, I hesitated, unsure if I should surrender to the desire building within me. Meanwhile, my right hand, seemingly guided by its own desires, ventured beneath the cozy navy blue comforter, caressing something tender, warm, and inviting. A frustrated expletive escaped my lips as the fiery passion within me started to awaken, like a wild beast stirring from its slumber. "Leave this bed this instant, Wonho!" The rational voice inside me demanded, while the primal desires within screamed, "Stay and indulge our cravings." Summoning every ounce of self-control, I chose to ignore the primal urges. Before stepping out of the bed, I couldn't resist stealing a glance beneath the covers, anxious to confirm whether we were both exposed or still modestly dressed. A wave of relief washed over me as I realized we were both fully clothed. Gently extricating myself from the bed, I found myself captivated by the sight of her partially revealed, enticingly thick thigh. Temptation whispered in my ear, urging me to capture a snapshot of her alluring face with my phone, and against my better judgment, I succumbed to the impulse. After locking the hotel room behind me, I walked away, carrying the image of her beauty with me.
