If someone ever asked me how I thought I would die, I would have hedged round the question, maybe smirked at them, because the thought of death in my twenties just seemed too early to dwell on.
I was young and therefore believed I'd have more time in this world before death came knocking on my door. As it turns out, death coming a-knocking isn't too far from reality. Well, mine at least.
Evelyn Lennox's busy, work-orientated life is about to break at the seams when she receives a phone call from an eccentric, wealthy, new client, Nathaniel Argent, asking her to design the living room of his large manor house. She accepts the offer, not realizing the full extent of the deal, nor understanding why Mr Argent's son, Matthew, looks at her so oddly and avoids her like the plague. There are secrets in this house; secrets that only a few months before, she had been so close to discovering. Only she can't remember.
The truth will out.
Evelyn is about to come face to face with death. Literally.

As Isaree begins to unravel the truth about her family's hidden debts, she realizes her life was bargained away long before she was old enough to understand. Now, hunted and betrayed, she must decide whether to run, obey, or fight back against the empire that has already marked her as theirs.

The Final Hearing
Evelyn Hart believed in fairytales - until the day she was left at the altar. Once a bright, hopeful law student, Evelyn's world crumbled when Nathaniel Blackwell - a powerful business heir she was arranged to marry - walked out on their wedding without a word. The scandal destroyed her family's name, shattered her dreams, and left her to bear the brunt of public humiliation. In a society that blamed her for everything, Evelyn did the only thing she could: she rose from the ashes. Years later, she's one of the most feared and respected lawyers in the country - until one case breaks her resolve and she disappears from the courtroom without warning. But fate has a cruel sense of irony. When Nathaniel's own sister is devastated by a similar betrayal and takes her life, he is desperate for justice. No lawyer is willing to fight for a case everyone believes is already lost - except for the one woman he wronged the most. Evelyn. Silent. Unforgiving. Brilliant. As she reluctantly steps back into the courtroom, the past simmers between them. Nathaniel is haunted by guilt and drawn to the woman he abandoned. Evelyn speaks only when required, avoids the past, and focuses on justice - but her silence screams louder than words. What begins as a legal battle turns into an emotional reckoning. Regret. Redemption. And a slow-burn connection that neither of them expected. Because sometimes, the most powerful verdicts aren't spoken in court - they're written in the heart.Complete
