ABOVE THE LAW

Eighteen-year-old Valencia Clarkniss has spent her entire life wrapped in silk and secrets - the heiress to a criminal empire she pretends not to understand. But everything changes when she overhears a threat whispered through her father's office door. The name Dorian Verlice becomes an obsession, a mystery, and a warning all at once. At twenty-four, Dorian is dangerous, unpredictable, and very much off-limits - a ghost from her father's bloody past. Their connection is toxic from the start, wrapped in lust, power, and the thrill of rebellion. As Valencia slips further from the safety of her curated world and into Dorian's orbit, she realizes: some fires don't just burn - they consume.
This is a story of forbidden love, fatal attraction, and the kind of mistakes you don't survive untouched.
