After a brutal betrayal left me broken and blind, I retreated into a cage of my own making, waiting for the darkness to finally swallow me whole. I was a monster in the dark, until I heard her voice.

Jessie Vance walked out of prison with a cardboard box, a child's drawing, and 8,415 days behind him. Two weeks later, a deputy with a grudge and a conveniently malfunctioning body camera tries to send him back. The charge: assault on an officer. The evidence? A scratch he didn't put there. Kelly Brennan takes cases no one else wants. When she reads Jessie's file - seven years for defending himself, fifteen days of freedom, a deputy with a history of abuse - she pays his bond from her own pocket. Brings him to her farm. Gives him a shack with a leaking roof and a wood stove that smokes. He works the land. She builds the case. Strictly professional. But the farm is small. The nights are cold. And the river behind the pines is the first place Jessie has felt clean in twenty-three years. When Kelly follows him there - boots off, wading into water too cold to bear - the line between lawyer and client starts to give. Deputy Harlan isn't finished. The sheriff's office closes ranks. The prosecutor offers deals that taste like surrender. As Kelly digs deeper, she uncovers corruption far beyond one bad cop - a system that buries the innocent to protect its own. Witnesses are terrified. Threats arrive at the farm gate. And the trial is coming faster than either of them is ready for. Now Jessie must choose: run, fight, or sacrifice himself to protect the woman who risked everything for him. Kelly must decide what she's willing to lose - her career, her reputation, her carefully guarded heart - for a man the world has already condemned. Their arrangement was supposed to be temporary. Their feelings were supposed to wait. But the river doesn't stop for anyone. And neither does what's growing between them. A slow-burn romance wrapped in a legal thriller, set against the wide sky and cold water of rural Montana. For readers who want their love stories earned, their justice hard-won, and their redemption real.

On a rain-soaked night in Gangnam, university student Lee Joon-hyuk fights off five gang members with surgical precision-then picks up his bag and walks away without a single word or backward glance. He doesn't ask for gratitude. He doesn't even look at the woman he just saved. That woman is Cha Seo-yeon, the youngest executive director of Taesung Group-brilliant, ruthless, and accustomed to a world where everyone wants something from her. Stunned by his indifference, she tracks him down. What she finds is a man who lives alone in a rooftop goshiwon, tops every class with an icy calm, and has built walls so high no one has ever scaled them. Behind his striking pale blue eyes lies a lifetime of abandonment: orphaned at four, bullied for his genetic condition, and now carrying a heart defect he refuses to treat because he has no one to help him recover. Seo-yeon is not used to being ignored. Determined to break through, she throws money, gifts, and job offers at him-all of which he coldly rejects. But the more he pushes her away, the more fiercely she stays. What begins as irritation becomes fascination, then something deeper neither of them expected. Meanwhile, campus belle Kang Soo-ah cannot fathom why the one guy on campus who doesn't worship her is the same blue-eyed loner Seo-yeon is chasing. Wounded pride turns into obsession, and a dangerous rumor threatens to destroy everything. Season of the Eyes is a dialogue-driven, emotionally immersive K-drama about two people who have armored themselves against the world in opposite ways-one with ice, one with fire. It's a story of stubborn love, slow healing, and the terrifying courage it takes to let someone in. Because the hardest walls to tear down are the ones we build around our own hearts.

Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).
