❝Eli Hernandez is innocent. And whether or not you or any other useless lawyer in this building will help me, I will spend every waking moment trying to prove his innocence.❞

As the daughter of an African American man and a Mexican woman, Maya Hernandez knows what life is like as a minority in the United States. From a young age, she notices the way that her family and friends are treated just a little bit differently. And when her brother is sent to prison for a ridiculously long sentence for a crime he didn't commit, Maya swears that she'll become a lawyer and do what she can to help people like her brother. She swears that she'll be the one to straighten the skewed justice system.

Now, Maya has a chance to work with one of the most influential lawyers in the country: Alexander Solace. She finds that being a lawyer does not entail what she'd imagined. The justice system is even more twisted than she thought, and accomplishing her goals is going to take much more than just her passion and drive. 

As Maya navigates the problematic world she's become a part of, will she be able to undo the justice faced by her brother—by the thousands of people of color who are mistreated and misunderstood? Will she follow through with her plans, even when she's faced with danger, lies, and threats?

And will she be able to do it all while avoiding her feelings for the man who somehow manages to ignite every nerve in her body: her boss and the elite lawyer, Alexander Solace? 

Hello and thank you for clicking on my story!

This story is one that is very close to my heart. Although I'm not sure when I'll actually start writing it, I know that once I do, it'll be full of passion. I have a lot to say about the treatment of minorities in my country, and thought I'd say it through a book. With a touch of romance, if you guys don't mind ;)

I hope that people will be able to relate to this story and understand why change is needed. Also, I thought I'd mention: I am not fluent in Spanish, nor am I studying law. Most of this story will be based off of stuff I know from watching way too many law and crime shows and some research as well! If I get anything wrong, please do politely let me know!

If you enjoy it, please vote and don't hesitate to leave your feedback in the comments!
