Vanessa Valencia Cervantes, a disaster-certified structural engineer, has spent her life building unshakable foundations-both in her career and her heart. ​ She doesn't need love, and she certainly doesn't need anyone telling her what she's missing. ​ But when an earthquake traps her with Celine Amarante Lucero, a sharp-tongued criminal defense attorney who wears confidence like armor, everything changes. ​ Four days under a broken ceiling turn survival into intimacy, and touch into vows neither of them expected. ​ Now, they're no longer just survivors-they're each other's only case. ​ Objection: Mine. ​ No hearings. No appeals. ​ Just one final ruling-she's hers.
