Having gone through a painful divorce himself, Henry views love as a temporary illusion that eventually fades into bitterness and betrayal.

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.

"She profiles motives. He prosecutes them. Together, they walk the fine line between truth and destruction." ⸻ Four years ago, FBI agent Tessa Martin and ADA Rafael Barba worked one brutal case together - a case that ended in justice, headlines, and a deep, mutual dislike. He thought she was reckless. She thought he was arrogant. They were both right. Now, Tessa's back in Manhattan - newly returned from maternity leave, freshly reassigned as a Behavioral Science Unit liaison to SVU. The Bureau calls her "the golden girl" - brilliant with the media, sharp with profiles, and unshakably calm under pressure. What they don't see are the cracks she hides - the trauma, the sleepless nights, and the baby she's learning to raise on her own. When a high-profile assault case at Hudson University ignites a media firestorm, Tessa is brought in to manage public fallout and provide behavioral insight. What no one tells her? The ADA handling the prosecution is Rafael Barba. Their reunion is instant friction - her warmth against his precision, her empathy against his logic. But as the case unfolds, old grudges begin to blur into respect, and respect turns into something far more dangerous. In a world where justice demands control and truth demands vulnerability, the two find themselves fighting side by side - in the courtroom, in the chaos, and against feelings neither of them asked for. Tessa reads emotions for a living. Barba hides behind them for survival. And somewhere between the law and the lies, they'll both have to decide how much of themselves they're willing to risk for the truth - and for each other. Golden retriever × black cat dynamic

36 parts Complete
What if a cat and a dog tolerate each other? Not in peace--obviously--but in wildly dysfunctional harmony. That's Seraphina and Kai-she strikes first with chaos and claws, he retaliates with passive-aggressive sarcasm and emotional warfare. It's not a romance. It's a tactical battlefield with feelings. For as long as they can remember, Seraphina Voss and Kai Sterling have been locked in elite-level rivalry. Not the flirty kind. No---this is cold-war chaos between two rich kids raised like family (ew), trapped in the same social circles (double ew), and trained in the fine art of mutual sabotage. But when one dramatic arrest pushes their families over the edge, they're given the worst punishment imaginable: working together. In the same office. With real jobs. Corporate hell---but make it personal. To make matters worse, they've both caught feelings for other people. Desperate to escape each other and this soul-sucking job, they strike a deal: Seraphina helps Kai win his "perfect" girl. Kai plays wingman for Seraphina's dream guy. Clean. Simple. Foolproof. Until it all starts falling apart, thanks to office warfare, many "accidental" double dates, and emotionally violent wars in silence. Because somewhere between strategic humiliation and whatever emotionally compromising event just went down, they might be falling for the one person they hate the most. And it's not about who falls first. It's how they fall. ⚠️ Contains verbal combat, morally questionable pranks, dangerously slow-burning tension, and at least one chair thrown in the name of love. © Hazel Brown. All rights reserved.
