Calista Eloise Alderidge is a sharp-witted lawyer with an iron resolve, determined to take down corporate giants who think they're above the law. Emmet William Hawthorne is a ruthless CEO with charm as deadly as his business tactics, used to bending the world to his will.

When their paths collide in a high-stakes legal battle, sparks fly-but not the romantic kind. Their disdain for each other is as fierce as their ambitions, and neither is willing to back down. As secrets unravel and boundaries blur, Calista and Emmet find themselves navigating an undeniable attraction they never saw coming.

In a world where power and loyalty are everything, will they risk crossing the line between rivalry and love?

Against the Odds by boingfic
54 parts Ongoing Mature
Nina Estelle and Harvey Specter live in two entirely different worlds. She's a nurse-sharp, guarded, and used to long nights, impossible demands, and people who take more than they give. Survival is second nature, and trust? A luxury she can't afford. Harvey is one of Manhattan's top lawyers-all confidence, control, and an unshakable reputation for winning. His world is about strategy, power plays, and keeping emotions out of the equation. They shouldn't have crossed paths. But when they do, neither can seem to walk away. Nina isn't looking for a distraction, and Harvey doesn't chase. But something about her gets under his skin-her sharp tongue, the way she isn't impressed by him, the fact that she's the first person in a long time who doesn't need anything from him. What starts as a chance encounter turns into something neither of them expects-Harvey stepping into her world just as much as she's being pulled into his. But they're both too busy, too stubborn, and too set in their ways to let something real happen. Right? Because if there's one thing they both know, it's that attachments complicate everything. And yet, against the odds-this might be the one fight worth taking a risk on.

Elena Romano, a fierce and unyielding lawyer, becomes the only person who can keep Tristan Valenti, a notorious and untouchable mafia kingpin, out of prison. But as she's drawn deeper into his dangerous world, she discovers that the battle isn't just about saving him from the law-it's about saving him from himself. Yet in breaking every rule she's sworn to uphold, Elena risks losing more than her morals-she risks losing her heart to the man who might be beyond redemption. Melancholy - a bittersweet ache that lingers in the soul, like the taste of wine that's both bitter and intoxicating.
