Mara Westbrook had it all-a high-profile career as a prosecutor, a beautiful life in L.A., and a daughter she adored-until she was framed and sent to one of California's toughest women's prisons. Now, free but disbarred, Mara works in the system's shadows, fighting for women the courts forgot.
Her closest ally: Ivy Ramos, a former inmate with street smarts, a missing brother, and no patience for playing by the rules. Together, they've built Lock & Key Legal, taking on impossible cases from inside the prison's Circle of Trust.
When they uncover a deadly arson-for-profit scheme, Mara and Ivy must expose powerful players willing to bury the truth-and anyone who stands in their way. But as old secrets resurface, the fight for justice becomes personal... and far more dangerous than they ever imagined.

She Called Me Dandelion
She wasn't looking for salvation- just survival. But when Dani steps into Amadora Quintero's world, survival begins to look a lot like surrender. This isn't sweet love story. It's restraint stretched thin, humiliation turned intimate, and desire that bites only to lick the wound. -♥*♥- Dani is a traveler turned reluctant nanny after her world is upended. Drifting from place to place her whole life, she's learned to survive off scraps of kindness and the lessons strangers leave behind. But when she takes a job in the home of Amadora Quintero, a sharp-tongued prosecutor and single mother with a daughter as fiery as she is, Dani finds herself in uncharted territory. Amadora has built her career on control: in the courtroom, in her home, and within herself. But since Dani's arrival, restraint has begun to feel less like strength and more like a chain she's itching to break. What simmers between them isn't soft or sweet-it's dangerous. Dani isn't sure if she's stepping into safety or surrender, and Amadora isn't sure if she wants to protect the girl... or ruin her. (Full Synopsis + warnings inside)
