Summary

When a brilliant but underestimated young lawyer squares off against a brash detective willing to cut corners, simmering attraction clashes with their fight for justice in a tension-filled trial that will define far more than just the case in this scandalously-sexy legal drama.

Soon after passing the bar exam, Talia Tate is tasked to assist her father, the head of Tate & Associates, with the controversial State V. Duncan trial. Talia is determined to prove to her father, the firm, and herself that she is a brilliant lawyer worthy of respect. Her stress hits a fever pitch when she realizes that she’ll have an unexpected face-off on her first case.

Detective Maddox Reed doesn’t mind cutting corners when it comes to closing a case. Since his days in patrol, the locals knew to steer clear of “Speedy Reed-y.” When Donovan Duncan was brought into his squad room, he was ready to send him to prison without an interrogation. He thought the case was cut and dry… until Talia comes to his office with fingers pointed, ready to get Donovan the justice he deserves.

Representing opposite sides of the law, Talia and Maddox find themselves fighting two battles: justice and lust. How could they fall in love under circumstances so polarizing that the whole world can feel the tension? While both of them are in a race to come out on top, surprising feelings make it difficult to separate business from pleasure.  Will these two souls find solace with one another? Or will the burden of love be too hard to bear?
