Regina Iverson, an ambitious defence attorney, thinks she has finally made the career break she for so long desired when she gets assigned to a high-profile murder case. Her biggest surprise comes not in the form of criminal brutality or backdoor firm politics she is suddenly faced with, but her client Damon Steinberg: a suave, witty and charming corporate giant who appears to be anything but a ruthless killer. While the evidence indicates an almost crystal clear guilt, Regina can not bring herself to condemn the man in her eyes, digging deep into the case to find the true criminal and putting herself in danger in the process. With so much at stake, there is only one question Regina wants to answer: can she fall for a criminal or is she correct about Damon's innocence?

The Supposed Terrorist
My trial in court was going on and all the evidence pointed toward my crimes. It was a really pointless proceeding. Everyone knew I had committed those sins against the nation. You know, the usual- mass killings, bombings, and all. I felt a bit sad as I heard the sentence of my death. 23 felt no age to die. "The court is adjourned-" The judge was saying when he got cut off by someone's frantic yells. The doors to the courtroom bang opened and a man entered with urgency. He had some papers in his hands and started waving them in the air. "I CAN PROVE HER INNOCENCE, I CAN. I HAVE EVIDENCE!" His voice rang in the room. I stared. _________________________________________ Rico Wayland is someone completely abnormal for her age.

And she is completely aware that she has, in fact, committed those crimes. But what will she do when a man (who she has know clue about) claims to her innocence?

Melancholy
Elena Romano, a fierce and unyielding lawyer, becomes the only person who can keep Tristan Valenti, a notorious and untouchable mafia kingpin, out of prison. But as she's drawn deeper into his dangerous world, she discovers that the battle isn't just about saving him from the law-it's about saving him from himself. Yet in breaking every rule she's sworn to uphold, Elena risks losing more than her morals-she risks losing her heart to the man who might be beyond redemption. Melancholy - a bittersweet ache that lingers in the soul, like the taste of wine that's both bitter and intoxicating. It's the quiet storm of longing and loss, woven with moments of beauty so fleeting they hurt. Just like what Elena and Tristan want-something so consuming, it borders on destruction. Their love is jagged yet tender, a sanctuary wrapped in shadows where passion wars with despair. It's the sharp edges of love, the bruises of trust, and the haunting allure of wanting what might ruin you, yet never being able to let it go.Complete![Nothing But the Truth: A Ryan Morgan Series Book 1 [AMAZON AND BARNES & NOBLE]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/319020087-256-k636631.jpg)
