Ruined

Adrian Maguire is a scumbag. Scourge of the earth. A dirty, corrupt, unscrupulous politician.
He's the man who tried to ruin my sister's life.

Hate, hate, hate.

You know what I despise more than Adrian?
The fact that I have no choice but to take his case. Otherwise, I'll lose my job.

I didn't spend years in law school to defend people like him.

So, when he strolls into my office, I'm not prepared for his presence to suck the air out of my lungs.
When his touch sends sparks flying across my skin, not ready for my heart to skip a beat.
My traitorous body burns for him, even though my mind screams at me to stop.

But I can't.

I see another side of Adrian that he's hidden away from everyone - even himself.

The more time I spend with him, the more I realise I was wrong.
Wrong to judge him, wrong to hate him, wrong to push him away.

But when secrets are exposed, there's more than just my career on the line.
Adrian could destroy everything...including my fragile heart.
