Defend Me (After College Series 3)

Maria Denise Melendez grew up in poverty, raised by a mother who singlehandedly supported her and her younger sibling after the death of their father. But life, as if unsatisfied with the hardship it had already dealt them, continued to crush them deeper into struggle.

When tragedy strikes again, Denise finds herself in a battle far greater than anything she has faced before-a fight for justice that feels almost impossible for someone like her, someone from the poor, forgotten side of society. But with grit in her heart and fire in her will, she vows to do whatever it takes to win... even if the odds are stacked against her.
