I licked her earlobe and whispered, "You're a good girl, Amelia. Let me corrupt you."
She began moaning and said, "Please, please," over and over under her breath.
I wanted her so badly, but I wanted to enjoy this moment even more. "I'm going to make you come, baby. I'm going to make you come so hard that you lose control of your body. When I'm done with you, you'll be a villain, too," I whispered in her ear.
Adrian Chase was the King of DC and the most feared lawyer in the country. Laws bent for him, as simple as that.

Their paths collide, and a dangerous attraction draws them into a web of desire and deception. They both seek justice, but Adrian is willing to break hell for it. Will Amelia burn it with him, or will she become one more pawn in Adrian's quest for revenge?

The frustration was palpable, and I clenched my fists as the heat of anger crept up my neck. I marched into my office, grabbed my cell phone, and dialed her number on the way out. The silence of the courthouse felt oppressive as I walked its hallways, but when I heard it go to voicemail for the second time, it became clear that she was purposely ignoring me.
