Summary
21 year old Amelia Evans wanted experience, not complications. As a law student shadowing a criminal defense attorney, she's determined to prove she can handle the clients nobody else wants. Then she meets Andrew "Pope" Cody. What begins as a professional observation turns into an unlikely friendship, and eventually something much more complicated. As their lives become increasingly entangled, Amelia discovers that Andrew Cody is far more than the reputation that follows him.
A slow-burn romance between a law student who believes everyone deserves a defense and a man who has spent his entire life being judged before anyone gets to know him. Pope isn't looking for redemption, and Amelia certainly isn't looking for love. Especially not with a 39 year old ex-con. As Pope's life becomes increasingly intertwined with hers, Amelia finds herself caught between the future she's worked so hard to build and the man she never expected to understand. In a world where loyalty comes at a price and every choice has consequences, the line between right and wrong becomes harder to see. And sometimes the most dangerous thing isn't falling for a criminal. It's seeing the person behind the crime.
