Her dedication to her clients have earned her respect in legal community, community that is surrounded by the heartbreak and cynicism. Violet's belief in love comes from her own parents' enduring marriage and her dreams of finding a lasting relationship.

Henry Olivier, on the other hand is a brilliant and charismatic divorce lawyer who has become dulled by the constant broken relationships he encounters. Having gone through a painful divorce himself, Henry views love as a temporary illusion that eventually fades into bitterness and betrayal. His focus is on winning cases and securing the best possible outcomes for his clients, without any sentimental notions about romance.

Their paths intertwine when they are assigned to opposite sides of a particularly controversial divorce case involving a billionaire tech mogul and his philanthropist wife. The case is complex and high-stakes, with both sides determined to come out on top.

As they dive deeper into the case,  Violet and Henry are forced to spend more time together, uncovering not just the secrets of their clients but also hidden facets of each other's personalities. 

When a pivotal moment in the case threatens their interests, Violet and Henry must decide what truly matters to them. Is it their careers and winning at all costs, or is it the chance at genuine love and understanding?

"Affection and Objection" is a gripping romance that explores the complexities of love amidst the backdrop of legal warfare, where hearts and minds are put to the ultimate test.

Falling for the Last Person I'd Ever Love... And Yet by hazelbrown18
29 parts Ongoing
For as long as they can remember, Seraphina Voss and Kai Sterling have been locked in an eternal battle of who can be the bigger menace. Not in a cute, childhood-besties way-more like a rich-kid rivalry that should've ended years ago, but somehow escalated into full-blown warfare. Raised like family (gross), stuck in the same elite circles (worse), and constantly trying to one-up each other (therapy might help), their banter is less friendly and more professionally trained insults. But when one particularly catastrophic night pushes their parents to the edge, they're hit with the worst punishment imaginable-forced to work at their families' company. Together. In the same building. With actual responsibilities. Tragic. It gets worse. They both have a crush on someone else and the only way to get their dream dates? Help each other out. The plan is simple: Seraphina plays the ultimate wingwoman, Kai dials down the human disaster, they both end up with their crushes and-most importantly-they finally get out of each other's way. But somewhere between stolen office supplies, late-night arguments over who's the bigger pain in the ass, and far too much accidental flirting, one thing becomes painfully clear- The real competition isn't about their crushes. It's about who falls first. And neither of them plans to lose. One's all claws, the other's all chaos-together, they're a walking catastrophe waiting to happen.

The tension between them is palpable, each interaction fanning the flames of a deep-seated rivalry.

Hello dear reader! First, thank you for deciding to click on this ongoing novel. It already means so much! It is my first and I will try to write as much as I can despite the fact that I have a day job. Please do let me know if you have any feedback or thoughts about the story so far. Thank you and I hope you join me on this journey. --- In a digital realm where fantasy and reality intertwine, two souls meet in an online game that transcends distance and convention. Aurora, a successful London lawyer who appears to have the world at her feet, hides her inner turmoil, while Andrei, a globe-trotting financial adviser longing for a true home, finds solace in their virtual connection. What starts as playful camaraderie soon deepens into a poignant romance, with shared quests and whispered secrets composing a bittersweet symphony of desire and vulnerability. Yet, the intimacy nurtured online cannot fully capture the tangible moments of life-the gentle patter of rain on city streets, the comforting sound of a familiar voice, the fleeting magic of a sunrise experienced firsthand. One of them harbours a quiet envy, not of a rival, but of the experiences that remain just out of reach, a silent ache for the parts of life they miss sharing together. As their conversations evolve into a delicate dance of honesty and vulnerability, they confront the challenge of balancing the roles of protector and free spirit in each other's lives. "Over Rain's Edge" becomes a metaphor for the threshold where digital dreams merge with the stark reality of human longing-a modern love story that rejects clichéd tropes in favor of an unvarnished exploration of desire, hope, and heartbreak. In this narrative, romance is portrayed not as a flawless ideal but as a tender, fragile connection that I hope would leave an indelible mark long after you finished the story.
