It isn't until Eve signs an agreement of maintaining a marriage facade for a year to both of their advantages, with her accidental husband slash supposed stranger, does she realize the man she married isn't stranger but all danger. There's something about the criminal lawyer, Axel Hernandez, that is full of lethal calm and burning vengeance. The more she knows about him, the more he confuses her.
Yet, somehow Eve's atoms connects with Axel's atoms just about right and they create explosive chemistry. Not just romantic ones, but also dangerous ones.
And who knows, Eve might be hiding secrets of her own. Dark, twisted secrets.

The scandal destroyed her family's name, shattered her dreams, and left her to bear the brunt of public humiliation. In a society that blamed her for everything, Evelyn did the only thing she could: she rose from the ashes. Years later, she's one of the most feared and respected lawyers in the country - until one case breaks her resolve and she disappears from the courtroom without warning. But fate has a cruel sense of irony. When Nathaniel's own sister is devastated by a similar betrayal and takes her life, he is desperate for justice. No lawyer is willing to fight for a case everyone believes is already lost - except for the one woman he wronged the most. Evelyn. Silent. Unforgiving. Brilliant. As she reluctantly steps back into the courtroom, the past simmers between them. Nathaniel is haunted by guilt and drawn to the woman he abandoned.
