Shattered Virtue: 1 (Shattered, 1) - Softcover

After her parents’ murderers get off on a technicality, Madrigal Berkeley vows to become a prosecutor for truth and justice. With her new law degree in hand, her grandfather insists she work as an intern at his prestigious law firm to learn the other side of the law.

The last thing top criminal defense attorney Trenton Steele wants is to babysit an apprentice—especially the boss’s granddaughter. Not one to do something for nothing, he wrangles a deal from the firm that will give him his own private suite in exchange for teaching Madrigal the ropes.

Before long, this tough-as-nails lawyer and his wet-behind-the-ears intern are fighting more than court battles. They’re fighting against a sexual attraction neither can control. A liaison could ruin his career and derail hers. Unable to stay away, Trenton helps Madrigal’s covert investigation into her parents’ murders. Soon they’re uncovering long-buried secrets while succumbing to desires they can no longer deny.

USA Today bestselling author Magda Alexander loves piña coladas and walks in the rain. Okay, enough of that. Rewind.

Magda loves reading steamy romances, which she’s been doing since she was ten. Um, that’s not quite true. Steamy romances did not exist when she was ten, and if they had, she’s pretty sure her mother would not have allowed her to read them. She did read the hand-holding, longing-glances kind, along with her catechism, which got her into trouble more than once. Let’s just say mother superior was not amused.

Magda, a lifelong learner, graduated from the University of Maryland, where she majored in business administration (because her family had to eat) and minored in English (because she needed to dream). Born in Havana, Cuba, she’s lived in Maryland most of her life and now resides close to the Catoctin Mountains in a city whose history dates back to colonial times.
