His Captive Lover

She'd been arrested?! Mia's disbelief morphed into sheer panic as handcuffs clamped around her wrists. A kindergarten teacher accused of murdering her ex-fiancé? The courtroom's ominous air pressed down on her, eyes widening with fear and confusion. Then, like a storm breaking, Ash Thorpe, imposing and strikingly handsome, strode in. He assumed control of her defense even as they both tried to ignore the tension simmering between them. Ash, battling the ethical breach of falling for his client, plunged into the murder trial's dangerous waters. The ticking clock echoed their urgency as they fought the legal battle, but Mia wondered if the man she'd grown to depend on would be the one to unravel her life entirely. "His Captive Lover," the inaugural novel of The Thorpe Brothers Series, unfolds a tale where trust is scarce, and love hangs in the balance.
