Preach is the head of his family's crime syndicate but is more than ready to pass the torch. Finley is a court stenographer turned con artist running game for profit with the help of her friends. They cross paths for the wrong reasons, and although Preach should be keeping Finley at arm's length and Finley knows he can't be trusted, they're drawn to each other.
So I love Preach and Finley. Their banter and obvious attraction was cute. The way they met set the scene for the tension of their story and the natural push/ pull of two people trying their hardest not to fall in love. The continuing interactions once finding out they were connected in more ways than the original way added weight to their connection. It was funny watching Finley try to run away from Preach's arrogant insistence and I loved watching him apply the pressure and prove to Finley he'd show up no matter what. Her health issues felt relatable and gave her character great layers, as did her family environment. Preach wearing the crown and having the heavy head gave him some nuance I appreciated. And they were as hot as could be. I loved seeing them come together.
