I have been asked what my characters look like and to be honest with you guys I was in two minds about whether to include photos. I know some readers like to know what they look like while others like to use their own imagination. For this reason, anyone who wishes to see can do so here.

Ambitious, head strong and tenacious are the qualities that Isabelle Richards and Roman De'Martell have in common. Their moral compass, lifestyles, perspectives and about everything else is what sets them apart. What happens when a young lawyer is forced into a world that is not as black and white as the one she grew up believing in? Isabelle watches her moral compass fail her, her sense of right and wrong blur into one and her ability to distinguish her rational from her emotions disappear. Roman De'Martell is a 26 year old entrepreneur who earns his wealth from selling Black Market contraband. When Isabelle and his paths cross he forces her to see the grey areas of the system that she grew up believing in. A world dominated by crime and corruption that she can't help but feel intrigued by. __ As I placed my hand on the door, poised to open it, his voice stopped me in my tracks, "As it happens Miss Richards, the devil and I get on just fine, and of all the things I've learnt from him, it is that evil, is above all else, seductive."

He began walking over to me. This is it. I'm dead. I saw his shoes come into my view as I was looking down, hair covering my face. "Look at me." He growled out. I started to cry, too afraid to look. He grasped my chin and lifted my face to meet his. I mentally gasped. It's the guy from last night. His eyes held surprise too, before anger erupted in them. I cowered back in fear of what he might do. "Who did this to your face?" He growled. I started to cry again and shake. "Him." I whispered and gave a small nod toward the guy who hit me.

I bite my lip in order to prevent any noises from slipping out and pull one last time. The rope falls off of my wrists and I am finally free. I stand up and run. I run and run and run, hoping never to stop and to never look back. But I have to. I look back only for a little moment to check if someone is following me and I suddenly bump into a wall in front of me. I turn my face to look at the wall but it isn't a wall... it is a man. Dear lord please, I'm begging you... I don't want to go back. Hi.
