Leila Alizai has always done the right thing. She has excelled academically and now she’s in law school. Only, her brothers think nothing she does is right, and they insist she ought to live a traditional life instead of insisting on following her dreams. 

​

Elvira Winterose has done absolutely everything wrong. To escape her unloving parents and her own failures, she married a man who treats her worse than dirt, and now she’s caught in a situation that might take her life. 

​

When desperate actions land both Leila and Elvira in prison, their deep wounds lead to mutual dislike, but when they are placed in a cell together, enmity turns to friendship and then romance, but the road to freedom and a life together is difficult and dangerous.
