Chosen By You

They survived his family. Now they face hers.

Ren Ashford has been called many things: ex-convict, opportunist, con artist. But he's never been called a liar.

Until Victoria Hayes decides he is.

Victoria Hayes is Manhattan's most dangerous attorney. She has a 97% win rate and fifteen years of practice destroying people while calling it justice. She fabricates evidence. She intimidates witnesses. She turns the legal system into a weapon.

And she's decided Ren Ashford is her next victim.

Six weeks. That's how long it takes her to dismantle everything Ren and Ares Corvus built together.

The Daniel Chen Foundation—created to help LGBTQ+ survivors of conversion therapy—collapses under coordinated attacks. Ren is arrested for staging a break-in he actually reported. The evidence against him is damning, detailed, and completely fabricated. He's sent to Rikers Island to await trial, facing twelve years in prison for perjury and filing false reports.

Now Ren and Ares must prove the impossible: that a respected attorney with a perfect reputation has been systematically fabricating evidence for over a decade. That the woman who infiltrated their foundation is a fake identity created from a dead infant's Social Security number. That the break-in was real—orchestrated by Victoria herself.

But Victoria stays three steps ahead. Witnesses are attacked. Evidence disappears. And she maintains perfect plausible deniability while destroying everyone who threatens to expose her.

Twelve strangers will decide Ren's fate. Twelve people who must choose between complicated truth and simple lies. Between a convicted felon claiming innocence and a respected lawyer who's never lost.

In a courtroom where winning matters more than justice, how do you prove the truth when the law itself is the weapon?
