Gabriella Maria Delaveccia, Assistant State's Attorney, works for the handsome and difficult State's Attorney, Miguel Gatto, a not-so-typical Latin male with control issues. He keeps a tight hand on every case in the office. Although wildly attracted to Miguel, she has been singed by his macho aura and is afraid of that attraction. Miguel Juan Carlos Gatto-Alba is a sadist whose roots in Spain go back to the Inquisition. The kinky strain has come down through the Gatto family tree to the present day. As a member of the exclusive and secret Black Iris Club, Miguel has dealt with his sexual kink through the use of BDSM. Miguel has wanted Gabriella from the moment he first saw her. When Gatto assigns a gang-related murder trial to Gabby to prosecute, he knows he has put her in the dangerous crosshairs of the Los Mara Toros Rojas gang. Miguel finally takes a chance on happiness with Gabriella, but can they deal with the dangerous case unfolding around them as well as a dangerous attraction to each other?
