Kora Caselli is the second oldest of the Caselli siblings.

Right along with her brother, she’s had to grow up quicker than she wanted to. Sacrificing the life, she thought she would have to be there for her youngest siblings and step into a role that was always chosen for her.

As a federal judge, Kora Caselli, or Judge Case, has built her career on being fair—sometimes, tough—and about business within her courtroom. At 34, she’s one of the youngest and most feared judges in the system, known mostly for the high-profile cases she has tried.

When she presides over the trial of Kingston Steele, a handsome community activist accused of using his nonprofit to funnel drug money and being linked with the motorcycle gang Brooklyn Reapers, her personal life and professional life start to tangle together.

There’s only one problem—Kingston Steele is her best friend’s half-brother.
