Once upon a time, a man sent a woman to prison, then he got her out. Now he's fallen in love with her... Complicated, right?
Spencer Chambers has a lot to be sorry for. He's sorry for sending Kelly Garner to prison for a murder she didn't commit. He's sorry for ruining her budding law career. He's sorry for the part he played in her father's death. If he were a better man, he'd be sorry enough to stay away from her. But he can't...
There's something about Kelly that keeps him coming back to her. There's something about her that makes him want more than just her forgiveness. Now he wants her love too... but can she look past all the ways he's wronged her?

Power play. (WLW) starring Dakota Johnson
Being a lawyer in New York could be a little challenging, but Ariana knew the game well. She came from old money and ran one of the top law firms in the country-perhaps even the world. Her firm worked closely with the NYPD and specialized in common law. Most cases were handled by the firm's team of seasoned attorneys. But one particular case had been assigned to her by her father-a man who never left room for disagreement. The client was powerful, dangerous, and far too familiar. Ariana wasn't just expected to win the case-she was expected to manage her. And with Roma Fenwick, nothing was ever simple. Boundaries blurred, motives twisted, and every encounter felt like a power struggle disguised as seduction. Authors note: My characters are NOT healthy people, so if it's triggering for you, i would recommend you to not read it. It's very psychological coded. There are many songs, movies and series references... Not looking to upset anyone. Everyone is welcomed to comment have fun while reading the book. Enjoy!
