"I know your type. Ambitious. Cold. Always has to have the last word"
"I'm glad you noticed. And for the record, I know your type too. Arrogant. Wounded. Can't stand a woman outsmarting him"
He scoffed, a flicker of irritation crossing his face before he quickly masked it with a small smile
"Aww, did I hurt your precious ego, prosecutor Lee? Should I file a motion to apologize or just send flowers?"
----------------------------
Daphne Sinclair doesn't lose, especially not to prosecutor Nathan Lee, the one man who knows exactly how to get under her skin. Their rivalry is legendary. Their courtroom battles, explosive.
But when a new case forces them into close quarters, the line between enemies and something else starts to blur. And as the tension builds, so does the risk... because in love and law, someone always has to surrender.
A sharp, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance full of fire, banter, and legal heat.

The kind that makes enemies forget their war... for just one reckless moment. And in a courtroom built on lies and power, their biggest risk might not be losing the case-it might be losing their hearts. Who will win the case?Complete
Then And Now

Stuck in a contracted clerical position for a whole year, Savannah must once again survive the emotional turmoil brought about by her boss and old bully, who is once again hell bent on making her submit to him. But this time, there is more on the line. Her heart. _________________________________________ Sneak Peek: "Had I known that I'd be working for you, I would've never accepted the position." Savannah admitted with a fire in her eyes. "Why?" Nathan said with a condescending scowl, "you hate me?" "No, Hate is a strong word." Savannah replied, then her mouth soured and her eyes hardened, "but it's not strong enough. I despise you." "Way to hold a grudge." Nathan commented, then he added, "but you might want to slow down on the hatred, you still have 360 days left in your contract." "And I'll spend every single one of them despising you." Savannah promised. She turned sharply and aimed to open the door. Nathan's large hand suddenly pushed the wooden passageway closed. Savannah released a huff but didn't face Nathan again.
