I had a plan. It was perfectly constructed:
Go to law school.
Become the best defense attorney in the state.
Become partner at a law firm.
Get my brother out of prison.
The day Riley Stevens walks into the office with her red lipstick and green pantsuit, everything goes sideways.
She’s a new lawyer, fresh out of law school. She has an aura of optimism about her that I lost long ago, and I have no interest in getting it back.
But when Riley and I get paired to work together on quite possibly the biggest case of my career, everything changes. This is the kind of case that can make me partner by the time I’m thirty, and I can’t let myself get distracted.
The more time we spend together, the harder I have to try to keep my hands off her. I know I can’t be with her. She’s my annoying co-worker and the boss’s daughter. The same boss who decides if I make partner or not.
The temptation grows the closer we get to the trial and the more time we spend together, and my restraint is wearing thin. This wasn’t part of the plan. I can’t afford to make mistakes. My brother’s life depends on me.
But Riley Stevens is the distraction I never saw coming.
