Victoria Carter has fought hard to make a name for herself in law, determined to prove she belongs in a world dominated by men. When she lands a trial position at one of New York's top firms, she's ready for anything-except Robert Downey Jr.

Brilliant, ruthless, and insufferably arrogant, Robert is a man who commands respect but gives none in return. From the moment they meet, sparks fly-not the good kind. He challenges her, underestimates her, and makes it clear she'll have to fight for every inch.

But when a high-stakes case forces them together, their fiery clashes turn into something neither of them expected. As past wounds resurface and secrets come to light, they'll have to decide-are they each other's greatest enemy or their only salvation?

Jean Basara has worked her entire life to get here: an associate position at one of New York City's top law firms. Smart, ambitious, and used to being underestimated, she's determined to rise through the ranks no matter how many closed-door meetings, unspoken rules, or impossible expectations stand in her way. But from her first week on the job, Jean realizes something is off. People are watching her. Whispers follow her down the hall. Her file in HR contains details she never shared. And the firm she thought was her ticket to the future might have hired her for reasons she doesn't fully understand. Now, every move she makes is questioned, every mistake exaggerated. Someone is tampering with her record, feeding a narrative she can't control. And when a face from her past shows up uninvited, Jean's carefully built world begins to tilt.

Under Oath | BWWM ✔️ by BlairsPen

DISCLAIMER: This book contains explicit content and mature themes intended for readers aged 18 and over. It is not a traditional romance, but rather a deeply complex and dark exploration of a toxic relationship. The characters' dynamics involve intense emotional manipulation, power struggles, and actions that may be triggering to some readers. Please be advised that this story delves into themes that are explicit, emotionally charged, and may not be suitable for all audiences. Proceed with caution. "Tell me again how you don't want me," he whispers, dragging his lips down her neck. "Say it under oath, and I might even believe you." Jasmine Taylor doesn't lose. Not in the courtroom, not in life. At just twenty-six, she's built an ironclad reputation: fierce, brilliant, and unshakably professional. But when she's assigned the biggest case of her career-defending Dimitri Alekseev, a dangerously alluring Russian immigrant accused of murder-her world begins to crack. Dimitri isn't just a suspect. He's a problem. Tall, tattooed, and terrifyingly unreadable, with ties to a powerful family the law doesn't dare touch. The evidence against him is overwhelming. The press wants him buried. And deep down, Jasmine suspects the whispers are true. But the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to separate fact from instinct. Because beneath his cold exterior is something intoxicating. Calculated charm. Raw heat. And secrets whispered in the dark. As the trial barrels forward, Jasmine finds herself pulled into his world-one filled with shadows, blood ties, and undeniable temptation. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks not just her career, but her safety... and her soul. What happens when the woman who always plays by the rules falls for the man who was born to break them?
