She's a brilliant mind in a black-and-white world. He's a man of action in a world of grey. Together, they'll face a threat that knows no boundaries-legal or lethal.
When elite SWAT officer Deacon Kay married German-born prosecutor Gretel von Schnapps, he knew life would never be simple. An autistic legal prodigy with razor-sharp logic, OCD precision, and a baby on the way, Gretel isn't just brilliant-she's the sharpest weapon in any courtroom.
But when a case from Gretel's past resurfaces-one tied to a powerful Berlin syndicate-her life, and the life of their unborn child, is put in the crosshairs. As Deacon and his team scramble to protect her, Gretel refuses to play the damsel. Her mind may work differently, but when it comes to justice, she's unstoppable.
With love on the line, bullets flying, and courtroom secrets unravelling, Gretel and Deacon must navigate a world where trust is fragile, and the only way out... is together.
