Summary
High-powered public defender Steve Rogers is the American Dream. A decorated war veteran, Steve fights for the "little guy," the ones who can't help themselves, and his adoring public has him on a pedestal.
Y/N Rumlow is struggling to survive after a messy divorce. Despite the mountain of evidence that her ex-husband was abusive and unfaithful, all of the blame was placed on Y/N. And since her ex was a lawyer, friends with the judge, and their divorce was handled less than legally, Y/N was left almost destitute.
When Y/N's ex is gruesomely murdered, she is arrested for the crime. Her arrest and questioning is handled through the darker side of the law, and a twist of events has Steve becoming her lawyer. He's shocked to see his client, his high school sweetheart who has been through hell. He's determined to clear her name, while she's just trying to survive, with both of them trying to convince themselves that their feelings for each other died a long time ago.
