A brilliant, wealthy defense attorney, Daniel is a man who plays to win—and from the moment he meets Jade, he knows she is the woman he is meant to protect. As Daniel and his legal team peel back the pristine, pious facade of Mara-Deserene’s life to reveal a chilling web of secrets and lies, Jade must face the courtroom fight of her life. But proving her innocence is only half the battle. To truly be free, Jade must confront the deep scars of her past and find the courage to let Daniel’s fierce, unwavering love heal her broken heart.
