Attorney Olivia Reed has spent years believing one man murdered her brother.
That man is Vincent Romano.
A feared mafia leader awaiting trial for multiple crimes.
When Olivia is unexpectedly appointed as Vincent's defense attorney, she sees it as fate's cruelest joke—and the perfect opportunity to destroy him from the inside.
Vincent refuses to defend himself.
Instead, he asks Olivia one question.
"What if your brother never died?"
The impossible claim sends Olivia into an investigation that uncovers decades of fabricated evidence, political assassinations, and corruption reaching the highest levels of government.
Her brother wasn't murdered.
He disappeared after becoming a federal informant against a criminal alliance connecting politicians, judges, intelligence officials, and organized crime.
Vincent wasn't the killer.
He was the man trying to protect him.
Now the same people responsible for destroying Olivia's family have returned to erase every remaining witness.
As courtrooms become battlefields and every legal victory is answered with violence, Olivia finds herself depending on the one man she once hated more than anyone.
The closer they come to exposing the conspiracy, the more dangerous their growing feelings become.
Because loving Vincent may cost Olivia everything she has left.
Sometimes justice is blind.
Sometimes it wears a mask of revenge.
And sometimes the deadliest poison begins with a single kiss.
