Jani Diallo, ESQ
To the world he is cold, calculating and a beast in the courtroom. Launched into the public eye because of a tragedy, Jani attempts to keep his eyes on the prize: destroying everyone who ever crossed his family. He learned early that he needed to game the system so it would bend to his will. But what happens when he tries those same tactics on a woman he shouldn’t look twice at?

Officer Avery Jenkins
Police work is a family tradition. One she had always been proud of. Until situations happen in multiple places that force her to look at the institution she has always held in the highest regard with a new eye. Her inability to conform to the status quo leaves her on the outs and she finds solace in the one place she shouldn’t: with an enemy of the police. The same man she should avoid is the one she can’t help but be attracted to. What will become her priority? Her position, or her passion?

Twin flames drawn together by circumstance, but the sparks that are created by their initial meetings only increase their desire, leaving each one wanting more of the other.

Can he reconcile that the woman he wants is more than just her job? Can she look past the brass warning her away from him and his family? These two could be the instruments of major change in their small corner of the world, and those who thrive in the darkness will do anything to keep them apart. Will the love they share be enough to keep them safe from a world that doesn’t want either of them to shine? Or will those with secrets to hide be able to silence this couple before their true potential is reached?
