Serena Lewis is sunshine in a courtroom, an ambitious law student who believes in justice, order, and the power of second chances. Sebastian Lombardi is chaos wrapped in tattoos and shadows-the brooding heir to a notorious crime family, known for his cold stares and colder past.
When their worlds collide in a courtroom internship gone wrong, Serena is drawn to Sebastian's danger even as she tries to resist it. He blames her for the one thing he can't forgive: his mother's death. But as secrets unravel and lines blur between love and hate, Serena finds herself tangled in a world of loyalty, lies, and long-buried grief.
She was supposed to fight criminals in court.
Not fall for one outside it.
And he was supposed to destroy her.
Not need her to breathe.
In a story where enemies fall hard, love gets messy, and justice isn't always black and white, can two broken people rewrite the ending they were never supposed to have?
