Successful and tightly wound defense attorney, Forever Maverick, never expected to fall so hard and so deep for Zurich “Blue” Rose. He was everything she wasn’t. Rough-edged, born into the streets, and fluent in a world she’d spent her career trying to protect people from. She was the polished, principled woman who got him out, but not someone he ever imagined being with. When a chance encounter brought them face to face, sparks ignite—but so do walls. Forever hesitates. Her life has rules, reputation, and a family legacy tied to justice. She’s got to be crazy to fall for a gang-banging thug from South Florida. No lawyer in their right mind would pack up everything they own, and be led to gangland, happily…right? Or would they? Just as smitten as Forever and knowing her ties to the legal world, Blue is desperately trying to leave his gang past behind. As if being an ex-con isn’t enough baggage to hold, Blue has no interest in being anyone’s charity case or scandal. He’s rebuilding from scratch, trying to prove he’s more than his record, but how can he do that without showing Forever his true self? Their chemistry is undeniable, but their fears run deep. He’s haunted by the system she still represents. She’s afraid of risking everything for a man she met in a courtroom, in chains. But as their budding infatuation slowly shifts into something deeper, they must decide if love can exist between two people from opposite sides of the law. A story about redemption, vulnerability, and the thin line between love and justice.
