When ambitious young attorney Sophia Chen takes on a murder case that could make her career, she finds herself drawn into a world far more dangerous than she ever imagined. Her client, Luigi Mangione, seems to have it all - striking good looks, a brilliant mind, and a prestigious career in tech. But beneath his carefully controlled exterior lies a web of family secrets and criminal connections that could destroy them both.

As Sophia digs deeper, she discovers that nothing is what it seems. Why would a successful data engineer suddenly commit murder? And why does Luigi keep warning her that knowing too much could put her in danger? What starts as a straightforward case soon evolves into something far more complex, forcing Sophia to question everything she believes about justice, loyalty, and where to draw the line between right and wrong. 

As the chemistry between her and Luigi grows more intense, she must decide how far she's willing to go to uncover the truth - and whether some secrets are better left buried.

A gripping legal thriller with a slow-burn romance that explores the gray areas between justice and revenge, duty and desire, and the price we pay for the secrets we keep.

Meet Xena or also referred to as X. Or T. Or Babe. Or Wifey... anyways. See, the island used to be run by the kooks and their kook royalty. Sure they still technically do run the island. But since Xena moved in right smack dab in the middle of Figure Eight and the Cut, she's been running things. Literally. But the darkest part about Xena, is her addiction. Like everyone here on the island, we've all got something that makes us tick. Hers is fighting. She's a fighter. In all senses and tenses possible. But she's a literal ring fighter both semi-professional and street-style illegal. Gambling with her fists and mind are what she thrives on. Or at least what she used to. "Save the drugs for the Kooks and y'all can have my alcohol- JJ, for your sake don't you dare light that joint while I'm stuck in here." "Yeah, keep the signal clear." "Pope, hun, I can speak for myself. Thanks though." "Oh come on, Babe. Not even a small sip." "I literally have a match in two days, I only came to this party to act as a bodyguard, Kie. And besides, I literally showed y'all my written contract." "That contract is with yourself, Wifey!" "All the more reason to stick to it then, ain't it Hubby? It's called discipline." As an aside: The first 54 chapters are Xena's first year in Outer Banks, totally random and just something fun. The 0-103 is the First Season of Outer Banks for Xena. Very similar to my other series where I bring in a new main character and rewrite them into the story-- This is Xena's.
