Lawyer

Silas

I’m a damn good attorney. But my firm is doing nothing to show me they appreciate or value my work, so I was already thinking that big changes were in order when I met her. I worked cases pro bono to help enhance my resume and profile but wasn’t expecting to meet a woman who would change the entire course of my life.

Aria Benson was in a bad way with worse people and was staring down a lengthy prison sentence when I caught her case. The connection was instant and the moment I laid eyes on her, I knew that I needed to help her. Knew that I needed to save her. Knew that I needed to claim her and make her mine.

To do that though, I would have to cross some ethical, if not legal, boundaries. But it’s more than worth it and I would do it a hundred times over to make Aria Benson my own.

Aria

My life is a mess. Chaos and danger surround me, and I’ve had to do things to protect my little brother and make ends meet for myself that I never thought I’d do. I never imagined that I’d be involved in the sort of lifestyle I lived. But when your parents die, you’re left in charge of a kid brother, and you have no real options, you do what you have to do to survive.

But then I was arrested and found myself staring down the barrel of a long stay in prison. Worse than that, I found myself on the wrong side of the man I’d been working for. And knowing what he did to employees who failed him, I was more terrified of him than of going to prison for the rest of my life.

But then Silas entered my life and everything changed. For the first time since my parents died, I felt hope. I felt like somebody actually cared for me. Like somebody was there to watch over and protect me. But Silas didn’t know Lucas. Didn’t know what he was capable of. And if anything happened to Silas because of what I’d done, I knew I’d never be able to forgive myself. If anything happened to Silas because of me, I might as well let Lucas kill me.

Lucas wanted blood and the only way to protect a man I’d fallen for might be to send him away. I might have to give up the only thing I’ve ever wanted for myself just to protect him. Silas claimed me but I didn’t know if he should keep me. For his own sake.
