Shiver
Description
Samara Perez-Allen has had more than her fair share of misfortune in her life. But with thick skin and her head held high, she's been able to make her dreams a reality despite the struggles that come with being a woman of color coupled with the added stress of PCOS.
Well, most of them anyway. Samara is a kick-ass child custody lawyer who takes high-profile cases in order to pay for the many pro bono ones she handles at her local women's shelter.
When she gets a call from a friend asking her to take on a new client as a favor to him, she does her usual digging. And what she finds, she isn't happy about.
Luca De Laurentiis is a goalie for the Philly Scarlets hockey team, but he's so much more than that. He's thoughtful and compassionate and has an ingrained desire to fix problems for others whenever possible. The problem?
The media doesn't see that.
The way he's portrayed is less than flattering, and as a man who just had a baby practically dropped on his doorstep, he's got a lot going on, to say the least.
He may have been a playboy in a past lifetime, but he's determined to clean up his act and be the best father he can be for his little girl.
When their barely contained desires threaten to run freely between the headstrong lawyer and her sinfully sweet client, will Samara be able to work through her internal battles and unrelenting independence to allow her the future she desperately wants? Will Luca be able to overcome his imposter syndrome and set aside the feelings of inferiority to grant him the happiness he desires?
