Ethan Cole is a defense attorney with a reputation for defending the indefensible. His clients are often guilty, but his philosophy is simple: whether they walk or not, the paycheck still rolls in. For him, justice is a gray area, and winning is a bonus, not the goal.

On the other side of the courtroom is Amelia Hart, a principled prosecutor who believes in justice and integrity, no matter the odds. She's dedicated to putting criminals behind bars and doesn't have time for people like Ethan-lawyers who twist the system for their gain. 

But when a high-profile murder case forces them to confront their own beliefs and the darker parts of themselves, the lines between right and wrong blur, and neither of them is ready for the personal and professional fallout.

Chasing Twists بقلم Kikoosmusings
5 جزء undefined أجزاء مستمرة للبالغين
When Madison Hartley, a brilliant and ambitious Harvard-educated lawyer from Manhattan's elite Upper East Side, takes on the biggest case of her career, she's prepared for the legal fight of her life. Her client, billionaire industrialist Chase Reynolds, is accused of a gruesome murder, and Madison knows this high-profile case could make or break her career. But there's a catch. Chase insists his "brother" join the defense team-Jackson Reid, a lawyer by training but better known as the enigmatic, leather-clad enforcer of a notorious motorcycle gang. Rugged, unpolished, and unapologetically crass, Jackson is the polar opposite of Madison's immaculate, pedigree lifestyle. From the moment they meet, sparks fly, and not the good kind. Madison hates his reckless bravado and disdain for societal norms, while Jackson can't stand her cold, prim perfection. But when their mutual disdain gives way to moments of undeniable, fiery chemistry, the lines between hate and lust blur. Through late nights in the courtroom and darker nights in his garage, they clash, collide, and ultimately combust. But as the murder case spirals into a web of secrets, betrayal, and danger, Madison and Jackson realize they're fighting not just for justice but for something far more personal. Can Madison let go of her perfectly planned life for a man who doesn't fit the mold? Can Jackson believe he's worthy of a woman like her? Will they find themselves on the same side-or worlds apart?

Law isn't for everyone. Some people sign up for the paycheck, chasing the dream of a cushy life. But Azalea? She had her own reasons. Cases landed on her desk like clockwork - too many to count. And while she didn't tackle them all by herself, the road to becoming a prosecutor turned out to be a lot rougher than she expected. It's not just about knowing the law; this job demands guts and a steel stomach. Prosecuting someone who's defended by the most powerful lawyer; someone you know is guilty - and deserves two decades behind bars - takes a kind of strength most people don't have. And those evidence photos of a mangled body? Let's just say you'd better be ready to lose sleep. In the middle of all this chaos, Azalea crosses paths with a man who clearly knows more than he's willing to admit. His words are careful, his motives murky, and his presence only adds another layer of mystery to unravel. Is he the ally she desperately needs, or will he end up throwing more obstacles in her way? Another secret to uncover, another gamble to take - and this time, the stakes feel even higher. *** Crudêl dives into the life of Azalea Monet, a young woman determined to follow in the footsteps of her late father. But before she can become a renowned prosecutor, she has to survive the hardships of Harvard Law. It's not exactly smooth sailing. While stumbling through her studies, Azalea takes on a mystery no one else dared to touch for years - an old, forgotten case buried under years of dust and indifference. Will she crack the truth wide open? And if she does, will it be worth it? Along the way, Azalea faces challenges that could either break her or turn her into the strongest version of herself.
