The Devil's Defense

She's the once-in-a-decade prodigy from Harvard Law—a girl from nothing. On the night she's about to win the full scholarship that would change her life, a chaebol heir assaults her—and she kills him fighting back. The first love who swore to love her forever? He's nowhere to be found in the courtroom at her darkest hour. Framed and thrown into prison for three years, she endures every humiliation, not even allowed to see her mother before she dies. When she finally walks out, scarred and broken, her pride shattered, she only wants to survive and finish her mother's last wish. But the heiress who destroyed her won't stop hunting her. At her mother's grave, her ex—now a man of immense power—kneels with red eyes and a diamond ring. She pushes his hand away coldly: “Too late for love. I don't need you anymore.” And Boston's most ruthless, most powerful billionaire attorney, Karan Voss, corners her at the floor-to-ceiling window of his firm, binds her scarred wrists with his tie, and whispers dangerously in her ear: “Don't fight back with tears—that's cheap. Use that brilliant mind of yours and send them all to hell. I'll be your sharpest blade.” This time, she becomes an icy queen of vengeance, shredding every mask in the courtroom—and making everyone who humiliated and betrayed her pay in blood.
