Smart yet stubborn lawyer James Hathaway is assigned the case of Dean Morrison, a man who was accused of killing his wife. The case is already hard enough to defend, but James then finds that Dean has been diagnosed with DID, with exaggerated personalities such as himself, a tidy, arrogant snob, a man who barely remembers anything about his life, and a violent, aggressive maniac. And, after James resigns from the case due to concerns about his safety, Dean is becoming increasingly volatile and unhinged every minute, and James has to maintain his integrity while having to deal with personal troubles that Dean seeps his way into, turning their lives into a game of cat and mouse after Dean snaps into his most violent and aggressive personality. And once James quits the case, James realizes that his life is in grave danger.

In His Defense.
Savvy, sharp, and unapologetically ambitious, Arielle St. James is one of the top criminal defense attorneys in New York City. She's built her career on winning the unwinnable, outmaneuvering prosecutors, and protecting the guilty-so long as they can pay. But when she takes on the high-profile case of Legend Rivera, a ruthless yet magnetic drug kingpin facing life in prison, her world tilts dangerously off balance. What starts as a battle in the courtroom quickly becomes a dance of seduction and power outside of it. Legend is dangerous, intoxicating, and used to getting what he wants-and what he wants is Arielle. Against her better judgment, she falls for him, blurring the lines between loyalty to the law and loyalty to the man who embodies everything she once swore to fight against. As the trial unfolds, Arielle uncovers a web of lies, government corruption, planted evidence, and backdoor deals. The deeper she digs, the more dangerous the game becomes. Her client may not be the only one with secrets-Arielle has her own past to hide, and someone is willing to kill to keep the truth buried. Caught between lust and legality, Arielle must choose: expose the truth and risk everything, or protect the man who's stolen her heart-even if it means burning down her entire career. Because in this world of power plays and deception, no one gets out clean... and love might just be the deadliest crime of all.

Gilded Obsession
Alexandria Evergreen, a bored heiress to her dearest father's hotel empire with a penchant for justice on her own terms and too much time on her hands, lives a life of luxury and moral ambiguity. Behind her poised façade lies a dangerous secret: she quite enjoys seeing the life leave the eyes of abusive and perverted men - and the occasional woman - who believe themselves untouchable, operating in the shadows of high society. Clarke Griffin, a struggling law student in her final year, is barely holding her life together. Clarke has just landed an internship at a prestigious law firm, a position she fought hard for. Now all she wants is to graduate, pass the bar exam, and start building her career, following in the footsteps of her late father. From the moment Alexandria lays eyes on a stunning Clarke, she's obsessed. What could possibly go wrong when one is morally grey at best, entirely unhinged and a walking red flag at worst and the other embodies everything Alexandria isn't - pure, principled, and committed to the legal system? I'll be putting trigger warnings below, and I will add to the list as new potential triggers become relevant in the story. Always feel free to let me know if I have missed any. TW: Strong language, blood and gore, murder, sexual content, mature themes, violence, mentions of abuse (of all kinds), sexism, torture, mention of drugs, mention of suicide, absolute toxic, obsessive, and unhinged behavior.Complete
