In the shadows of Us

Nokuthula Maseko has built her life on discipline and order. As one of Johannesburg's most respected criminal attorneys, she never lets emotion cloud her judgment or her reputation.

Until Mpendulo Zulu walks into her office in handcuffs.

Accused of masterminding a string of violent cash-in-transit heists, Mpendulo is everything she's trained herself to resist: dangerous, unreadable, and too charming by half. He insists he's innocent. The evidence says otherwise. But in late night meetings and stolen conversations behind prison glass, Nokuthula starts to question more than the case.

She questions herself.

As new heists rock the city, suspicion coils tighter around Mpendulo and anyone who dares to believe him. Soon, Nokuthula is risking not just her career but her heart to uncover the truth.

Because falling for your client isn't just forbidden.
It could be the most dangerous mistake of her life.
