Veil of Justice

Defense attorney Elena Torres has built her career on precision and control qualities that never fail her in court. But when she takes on a case tied to a powerful senator, the ground shifts fast. The evidence looks too perfect. The opposition too smug. And every whisper suggests the truth was buried long before she arrived.

Investigative journalist Riley Quinn has spent years chasing corruption, her work dragging her into the darkest corners of politics. When her path crosses Elena’s, neither woman expects to join forces. Yet with enemies closing in and secrets surfacing at every turn, survival leaves them little choice.

What starts as a wary collaboration sharpens into something more a pull neither can ignore, no matter how dangerous. In the shadows of power, their connection burns hotter than either planned, threatening to dismantle the walls they’ve built around their lives.

As the trial heats up and risks mount, Elena and Riley must decide if they can trust one another enough to fight side by side against forces determined to silence them both.

When truth becomes a weapon and love a liability, will their bond save them or break them?
