"Six Years Ago"
Adrian Voss was once a different man. At 24, he was the golden boy of the legal world-engaged to the daughter of a federal judge, bound for politics, idealistic and righteous.
Until his little sister, Marin Voss, a quiet psychology student, was falsely accused of aiding a serial killer. The media crucified her. The judge (his then-fiancée's father) denied her bail. Marin killed herself in prison before trial.
Adrian changed that day.
He walked away from morality. From love. From light. He swore he'd destroy the justice system that let monsters wear robes and masks. Now, he defends the worst of them-but only those he handpicks.
Because he's hunting.
One by one.
Is cheating always meant to be physical?
What if he emotionally betrays you?
But what do you call it when your husband shares his dreams, emotions, victories, and time with another woman...
slowly forgets that you even exist?
