"In the world of politics, nothing is as it seems; it's not black or white-it's a vague abyss of differing opinions." 
   
    Fresh out of law school and unenthusiastic about the prospect of working until she dies, Alexis Winters gets an unexpected opportunity to experience the real workings of politics first-hand, not exactly the organised chaos she studied in school. Alex will learn about the benefit of a perfectly tailored suit and the danger of a perfectly pressed tie; merely a stainless façade, shielding us from the demoralizing truth.

	That doesn't mean there aren't some things she learnt about in school carried over into adult life, however, and they have all been carefully condensed and compiled into the toned body of one Lyon Vastia: hot as hell with the personality to match. Miss Winters meets her match as fire and ice collide in a tense battle across the office, bringing her to the end of her tether.
	
             But he's not her biggest problem anymore.
   
      Faced with the challenges that come with a job of high profile superiority, Alex threatens to expose the secrets that reside behind the walls of one of New York's most prestigious law firm. Who's really running the show? Who's working in the shadows? And when did she become such a liability? 
    
    One thing is for certain: she will soon begin to discover that being a liability amongst those who lie for a profession; their presence is likely to put one at a disadvantage.

"Just because you are young, doesn't mean you can get away with what you did." Water dripped down his stern face. "And just cause you are old and wrinkly doesn't mean you get to speak to me like a child!" Rene hollered at Sebastian. "What did you say to me, little girl ?" His hand shot out, grabbing her waist and pushing her against the hardwood door. Rene felt the fear trickle down her as his eyes turned devilish and intense. She had never seen such eyes. It was almost black. His face was rugged as that scar runs across it. His beard was ragged and yet it made her clench her thighs tightly. "You heard me." She jutted her chin at him, daring him. "You gotta lot of nerve, Rene. I bet you don't talk to Dan this way do you ?" He cruelly smirked at her, his fingers tracing her collar bones and slowly dipping down her plaid shirt. "That's my dad, you jackass! You are nothing but a business partner to him." She spat the words at him. Her body was livid and not only because she was angry. "Is that right ? Then riddle me this, why did he let you stay alone with me? Could it be he knew I would never touch his little girl or the fact that you like the old and gold?" _ Hill Swartz LLP is founded by Sebastian Hill and Daniel Swartz and they run their law firm like a well-oiled machine but their professional and private lives are sovereignly apart.

With an urgent need to disconnect from the world and his aggressive mood disorder, he only wants to be isolated in his room so he can wallow in misery without having to interact with anyone. Predictably, when a medical physician, Maria Patterson, is assigned to tend to him in the comfort of his home, he can not be more displeased for the 'unneeded disturbances'. In his plan to get rid of the doctor who is nothing but a pest to him, he acts unimaginably cold toward her and basically expresses his hatred in every possible way. However, despite his disrespectful and indifferent attitude, Maria always finds herself crawling back to his regal estate with high hope for his recovery, because she can sense that there is this delicate soul hidden deep beneath his frosty exterior. Gradually, as she attends to him, she slowly starts to see the cracks in his iron shell, realizing that behind his dark façade lurks a wounded spirit. But that is not all. She also can't deny the warm feeling that starts to bloom under her touch: affection for Jayden, and she knows she is not the only one. ***
