In this page-turning, fast-paced prequel, national bestselling author and urban lit superstar Kiki Swinson takes readers on a high-octane ride to the youthful beginnings of wild-card lawyer Yoshi Lomax, first introduced in Swinson's classics Playing Dirty and Notorious, set in the gritty South. Now an overwhelmed college student, Yoshi makes her way into the most elite circles of academia—with unexpected, explosive results.
The perfect storm . . .
Young, irreverent, and reckless, Yoshi is struggling to make good at her prestigious college and keep her demanding mother off her back, while living the good life with her peers. But between the overwhelming workload and hostile professors, she's on the verge of flunking out. Yet that's the least of her troubles when her roommate, Gia, winds up in a coma, and Yoshi finds her diary—and a library's worth of shocking, extremely valuable secrets . . .

The perfect edge . . .
For the school's elite-of-the-elite students, their perfect transcripts, priceless connections, and endless entitlements are fueled by an all-consuming round of drug deals, sex, trading favors—and killer leverage. And in spite of her idealistic friend's warnings, Yoshi is convinced she can handle it all . . .
The perfect trap . . .
Until Yoshi discovers that every little lie, dirty secret, and easy betrayal is hiding a secret even she isn't willing to keep. Now with everything she cares about on the line, she must make a wrenching choice that could cost her more than her life . . .

Troy becomes violently angry with her, and the client now wants to date her, raising more questions about just what took place after dinner. Meanwhile, Yoshi suspects the twins of shady dealings and begins to look into what's really going on at the firm. Soon she's in the middle of a murder investigation.
