I wouldn't just hate it- I'd destroy it." She exhales, a tiny shaky breath. "And if I love something... you'd love that too?" His jaw flexes. "Depends." "Would you love it for me, Alonzo?" she repeats. "...I can try," he whispers, like it's the closest thing to surrender he's ever given anyone.

But what happens when the mentor is more than what he appears to be? He is Alonzo Accardi, the youngest managing partner of Accardi Law Firm. Brilliant, Cynical, Unreadable.
