Love & The Law

Charmed.

Layla Hughes didn't mean to be. She didn't mean to notice the way his gaze lingered or how his touch sent a dangerous warmth through her veins. But from the moment he looked at her - really looked - she felt it. Love.

Layla is just trying to survive the polished chaos of London's most elite law firm. She keeps her head down, buries herself in paperwork, and clings to the safe, familiar rhythm of her work. In the world of sharp suits and sharper minds, staying invisible has always been her strength.

Until Lucian Pierce.

Lucian was raised in a very different world - one built on power, secrets, and an empire carved from the other side of the law. Following in his father's footsteps, he's spent years expanding his illegal empire, making himself untouchable. Ruthless. Feared.

But empires attract enemies.

With his own cousin plotting to destroy everything he's built, Lucian's world is already at arms reach of war. The last thing he needs is a distraction.

Then he meets Layla... and everything changes.
For the first time, Lucian wants something more than power.

Now he must walk a dangerous line between love and loyalty, between the law she lives by and the criminal world he rules. Because if his enemies discover what Layla means to him, she won't just be a weakness-

She'll be a target.
And Lucian Pierce protects what's his.

In love and the law.

"Get in the car" he breaths down my neck, his blue eyes so harsh and yet so soft, asking me in a demanding way to enter into his car.

"No! I don't know you!" I whisper back, pushing him away but his large and lean body against my fingers makes me double take as to why I want to push him away and not keep him glued to me.

His wondering hands grabs my hips, and he smirks down at me as if knowing my thoughts.

"Layla, Get. in. the. car" he kisses my jaw, opening the car door beside me. Pulling away from me, his gorgeous eyes directs me towards the open door.

Charmed, I am definitely charmed.
