»Bogata i topla priča, kao čokolada!« Mary Chamberlain Brazil 1824. Proslavljena spisateljica Maria Graham kreće na opasno putovanje iz Brazila u London kako bi svome izdavaču dostavila svoja dva najnovija romana. Godinu dana nakon gubitka svog voljenog muža, Maria je puna nade u budućnost i odlučna živjeti svoj život kao slobodna žena i znanstvenica, daleko od ograničenja britanskog društva. Za ženu koja putuje sama to putovanje nosi mnoštvo opasnosti, a dok oko nje bjesni brazilski građanski rat, jedini brod koji kreće prema Europi pripada kapetanu Jamesu Hendersonu, šarmantnom krijumčaru kakaovca. Tijekom dugotrajne plovidbe prema Londonu, Maria otkiva dvije šokantne tajne- neodoljivu privlačnost prema zagonetnom kapetanu, kao i opasnu tajnu koja je može dovesti u pogibeljnu opasnost…

Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. He works out of a customized bulletproof van, complete with Wi-Fi, a bar, a small fridge, fine leather chairs, a hidden gun compartment, and a heavily armed driver. He has no firm, no partners, no associates, and only one employee, his driver, who's also his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddy. He lives alone in a small but extremely safe penthouse apartment, and his primary piece of furniture is a vintage pool table. He drinks small-batch bourbon and carries a gun. Sebastian defends people other lawyers won't go near:a drug-addled, tattooed kid rumored to be in a satanic cult, who is accused of molesting and murdering two little girls; a vicious crime lord on death row; a homeowner arrested for shooting at a SWAT team that mistakenly invaded his house. Why these clients? Because he believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial, even if he, Sebastian, has to cheat to secure one. He hates injustice, doesn't like insurance companies, banks,or big corporations; he distrusts all levels of government and laughs at the justice system's notions of ethical behavior.
