Ava Carter has spent years carving out a name for herself as one of the sharpest attorneys in the city. Focused, relentless, and fiercely competitive, she never lets anyone stand in her way-especially not Ethan Hayes, her arrogant, infuriating rival who seems determined to challenge her at every turn.
━━━━━━ ◦ ❖ ◦ ━━━━━━
Ethan is just as brilliant as he is insufferable, matching Ava argument for argument, smirk for smirk. Their courtroom battles are legendary, their rivalry a constant war of wit and strategy. But when a high-stakes case forces them onto the same side, lines blur, and tension sparks into something far more dangerous.
━━━━━━ ◦ ❖ ◦ ━━━━━━
Because the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them.
Winning has always been Ava's priority. But when it comes to Ethan Hayes, the real question isn't who will win.
It's what they'll lose if they give in.

KEEP IT IN THE AISLES
The rules are simple: Clock in. Pick fast. Stay quiet. And whatever happens in the aisles... stays there. Ava never planned on falling for anyone at Wear It, the small Sacramento warehouse where nights stretch longer than the paychecks. Between university deadlines and endless shifts, she's just trying to keep her life together - one scan at a time. Then there's Eli. Older, charming in a quiet way, and way too kind for someone who's seen how ugly night work can get. He's everything Ava shouldn't get close to - especially since his ex works just a few aisles away... and she's her team lead. Fluorescent lights, whispered conversations, coffee-fueled confessions - and one rule they both keep breaking. Because some connections don't wait for permission. They happen between aisles. "Love doesn't clock out - it just hides between aisles." YKWIMComplete
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
