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?All Rights Reserved

PASSIONS OF CRIME by SpiritofVengence

Defense lawyer Antonio Connor's life changes when he takes a case that starts off as an ordinary murder in the first-degree and then turns into something more dreadful. Taunted by his enemies and his inner demons alike, Antonio faces a harrowing test of his limits and skills when he discovers that the roots of the murder lead to a menacingly tangled web left undiscovered for long. Crime, mystery and passion come together in a sinister game of life and death as the clock ticks faster with each passing day and every other blow falls quicker than the first..... And if at all you can follow our protagonist to the end of this journey, there's only one question that needs answering: CAN YOU FACE THE TRUTH? Hey guys this is my first official novel and also the first story I'm uploading on Wattpad. Kindly forgive technical issues (if any), I'm still trying to get used to the platform. I've tried my level best to avoid grammatical mistakes and errors, so please forgive me for any that you might come across. I know the chapters are a bit long (some are too long), but believe me they will be worth reading, I couldn't split them up since each chapter has a significance as a whole. That being said, enjoy the story... HAVE FUN!!!
