As the wife of a powerful cartel lieutenant, she's spent years hiding bruises beneath designer clothes, smiling through cruelty, and burying the woman she used to be. Escape isn't an option. Neither is hope.
Until she meets Judge Julian Kane.
Still grieving the murder of his younger sister, Julian has dedicated his life to justice. But when a routine court case places Ivanka in his path, he begins to see the cracks beneath her carefully crafted mask. The more he uncovers, the clearer it becomes that the law cannot protect a woman trapped inside a world built on violence, corruption, and blood.
As dangerous secrets begin to surface and powerful crime families tighten their grip, Julian and Ivanka are forced onto a collision course where every choice carries a price.
Because in a world ruled by lies...
Justice has never been black and white.
Sometimes the only way to survive is to become something far more dangerous.
First I want to say, that I am very grateful to have been part of this ARC read and experience.
Injustice focuses on Julian’s journey to find out the name of the person responsible for his sister’s murder. Lilly’s death changed him, the justice system he had upheld for years failed him, so he rose in power, became one of the youngest judges to be appointed. He used the systems, bending some rules but never fully falling off the legal line until he met Ivy.
Ivy is the wife of Raul Vasgas, a Mexican 3rd tier cartel/mob boss. When Nerissa, a vicious seductress of an attorney, assists in getting him pulled over for a DUI, the ball starts to roll quickly, spiraling out and threatening to expose all the skeletons hidden in the elite law and order families.
It is twisty, the characters are intense. The world surrounding the characters is interesting.
