With a promotion to partner finally within reach, a relationships isn’t in the cards. But a chance encounter at an art gallery introduces her to a distraction she can’t afford but also can’t resist.  \nRiver Rigel lives by instinct, spirit, and the beating heart of her South Side community.

Perfect for fans of ice queens and slow-burns.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nACKNOWLEDGMENTS  \nI am a believer in synchronicity and connection, and those often show up when I’m writing a book. The ability to attend a conference in the States, and therefore to visit Chicago for research, meant we met two wonderful people. They then took the time to show us around, giving us an understanding of a complicated city we wouldn’t have otherwise been able to get from Google. Laura and Meghan, thank you for your patience and kindness.  \nThank you to our friends, Laura and Becky, who gave us experiences there we also wouldn’t have come across, and who made traipsing through the heat more enjoyable.  \nThanks to Maggie too, for catching all the Britishisms that creep in to my writing now that I’ve lived in the UK for nearly twenty years!  \nAs always, to the readers who keep reading what I’m putting into the world; because you do, the characters live on.  \nAnd to my wife, who always catches me when I stumble, who makes me laugh, and who tells me when things don’t make sense… well, you know.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nDEDICATION  \nWifey, you are the only adventure I truly need.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCHAPTER 1  \n“FIVE LAWYERS FOR EVERY THOUSAND PEOPLE IN ILLINOIS, AND WE STILL can’t find one who can tie his own goddamn shoes.” Marina Fuentes threw the stack of files on her desk, not caring that four of them slid off and onto the floor, nor that her assistant, Lucy, hurried to pick them up.“How am I supposed to deal with that moron as co-chair? He had mustard spilled down his shirt, for fuck’s sake. In front of Judge Gillian, no less, who thinks we should all be paragons of angelic virtue and show up with fucking wings on.”  \nLucy set the files neatly on Marina’s desk.“I’m sure he didn’t mean—”  \n“Defend him, and I swear I will put charcoal in your coffee tomorrow morning.” Marina pointed at her and then sat down, taking a deep, steadying breath.“Get me the Carrington case files.”  \nLucy hurried from the room, and Marina closed her eyes. Breathe the corners ofthe box. In for four, out for four. Pulse sufficiently steadied so she didn’t throw something through the window of the thirtyeighth-floor office and decapitate some hapless tourist staring at their distorted image in the reflection of the Bean, she opened the fileon top and began to make notes on the legal pad in her leather binder.  \n“Latte.
