Outside, the New York rain turns the pavement into a dark mirror, reflecting the sterile, towering glass of the Thorne Legal Group. Inside, Julian Thorne commands the space with a heavy, silent gravity. At thirty-five, his broad frame and piercing brown eyes create an aura of intimidation, fueling the endless rumors surrounding his solitary life. Eighteen years ago, a discarded infant shifted his world, turning a driven young man into a father who would burn the world down for his child. Now that Elena is independent, Julian is a ghost in his own success—a man of few words and absolute loyalty, sheltering his private grief and secrets as fiercely as he protects the victims who seek his legal counsel.
