Against All Evidence

Julian Cross is the kind of man who wins - in the courtroom, in business, in life. But one night of celebration shatters his composure when he spots the girl he once protected like family... now dancing on a stage for strangers.

Talia Reyes isn't ashamed of what she does. Stripping pays the tuition for her dream: medical school. Survival taught her never to depend on anyone - especially not the boy who once made her feel safe, then disappeared.

Fifteen years apart, their worlds collide in a storm of lust, history, and unspoken pain. Julian wants to pull her out. Talia refuses to be rescued. But in a city where power has a price and desire has consequences, some connections burn too deep to walk away from.
