About the book
He'd do anything for the people he loves.
That's the part that should scare you.
The story
Clive Harrington doesn't lose. Gifted, meticulous, and unnervingly calm under fire, he became a rising-star defense attorney not by believing in luck — but by believing in preparation, precision, and the quiet power of controlling the room. He is the man people call when everything is on the line and the story is too ugly to tell.
Beside him is AC — his lifelong best friend, his investigator, his relentless truth-hound. Theirs is the kind of bond forged in childhood and hardened by years of fighting the same battles. Together, they are unstoppable.
Until the case that changes everything. Until the moment loyalty stops being a virtue and starts being a weapon. Until the guilt that was supposed to stay buried refuses to.
Predisposed is a high-tension thriller about the thin line between protecting the innocent and enabling the unforgivable — about tender love that refuses to let go, and about what happens when the person you fear most turns out to be yourself.
"At its core, this is a love story. Just not the kind you expect."
