Now, Liam is one of the youngest, most powerful, and most desired CEOs in the country. And Mia? She is no longer the quiet, outcast girl he once dismissed. She is the number one passer of the bar exam, a corporate lawyer whose name alone makes seasoned executives sweat. Fearless, sharp, and impossible to intimidate. When fate brings her into Liam's boardroom, his billion-dollar empire becomes the biggest case of her career and her toughest challenge. Vale, the firm's respected senior partner, makes it clear that if Mia can take on Liam Alcaraz and win, securing him as their new big client, she will earn her place as the youngest partner in the firm.
