Some secrets are too dangerous to uncover, and some feelings are too powerful to ignore. In King's University – Volume 2: The South Girl by Aya Estrela, Elvira Petrova finds herself caught between a painful past, an unresolved investigation and a complicated relationship with the man determined to win back her trust. Struggling with addiction and overwhelmed by everything she has experienced, Elvira has seemingly abandoned her agreement with attorney Stanford.
