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?
