✦ Synopsis

Prosecutor Adam Thorne’s confident and, seemingly, arrogant public persona hides a painful past; that of a broken little boy, haunted by the death of his prostitute mother.

Appointed to a high-profile case, Adam’s world is turned upside down by his unexpected and unwanted attraction to the enigmatic Angelique Bain, a key witness, and the paid escort of a defendant, a state senator, and ironically, a former friend of Adam’s.

Despite his best efforts to inure himself against her appeal, he can’t stop thinking of Angelique, not even in his sleep, where she appears in his dreams in unsettling and ever more erotic ways.

Their meetings are explosive and their exchanges grow increasingly fiery; but as the senator’s trial unfolds, Adam learns more about Angelique’s tragic life. He’s forced to deal with the demons of his past and acknowledge his true feelings for her. He pursues what, for him, had previously been unthinkable; a relationship with the woman he’d been determined to loathe.
