Ava Fitzgerald has spent the last year finalizing her divorce, twelve years of marriage ending in a courtroom in California. She is not looking for anything. She is definitely not looking for Bryce, the stranger who unclasps her seatbelt on a plane and hands her his number with a smile she has no business responding to.
She responds anyway.
What follows is three weeks of borrowed time, a man who sees her clearly, a sister who loves her loudly, and the slow, terrifying realization that moving on might mean something she was not prepared for.

Kiss Me, Your Honor
She's the queen of divorce law. He's the judge who ruins her life with a single signature. They were never supposed to fall in love-especially not by accident, scandal, or contract. Reyna Voss has three rules: Never lose a case. Never let a man distract her. And absolutely never, under any circumstances, fall for Judge Eliah Cross- the infuriatingly gorgeous, morally gray man who makes "approach the bench" sound like foreplay. But when Reyna's star client is about to lose everything, Eliah offers a deal that flips her entire world upside down: A marriage contract. No prenup. No escape. No pretending. One headline later, the internet is obsessed, her career is on fire, and Reyna is waking up in silk sheets next to the one man who can ruin-or save-her entire life. Because in public, they're a scandal. In private, they're a wildfire. And in the shadows, someone else is watching... and plotting revenge. As old enemies resurface, secrets bleed out, and a darker past threatens their future, Reyna must decide: Is this marriage a strategy? A mistake? Or the most dangerous love she's ever dared to feel? When the courtroom turns into a battleground, and the world questions everything-including the baby she carries- there's only one truth left: Some loves aren't chosen. They're fought for. Burned for. And survived. Perfect for fans of twisted romances, legal heat, enemies-to-lovers, obsessive men, scandalous marriages, powerful heroines, and plots with more twists than a courtroom drama.Complete
