She's got everything to lose. He's got everything to prove.

Layla Rivers is a rising star in the legal world-a sharp, no-nonsense corporate attorney at a prestigious Black-owned firm in Atlanta. Focused, elegant, and guarded, she has no time for distractions-especially not the street-savvy, charismatic type she's always tried to avoid.

But when her firm takes on a major redevelopment deal tied to a mysterious local businessman, she comes face to face with Roman "Ro" King, a wealthy entrepreneur who owns a high-end luxury car dealerships, real estate, and private security. What Layla doesn't know is that Roman built his empire from the ground up-starting with hustling in the streets. His money's clean now... mostly. But his past is never far behind.

Despite their differences, sparks fly. Roman is drawn to Layla's ambition and quiet strength. Layla's shaken by the raw magnetism and intensity Roman brings into her carefully curated world.

As danger from Roman's past threatens everything he's built-and Layla's firm pressures her to cut ties-both must choose between what's safe and what sets their souls on fire.Все права сохранены

Kiss Me, Your Honor от kara_fd

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.

DOLLHOUSE. от ingeniousmindoftune

She was the prize in a glass box-beautiful, untouchable, and owned. Until love cracked the walls of her Dollhouse "They call it the Dollhouse because that's what it is-a museum of beauty and obedience. I'm the main exhibit. Cassian Ward keeps me polished, paid, and protected, like I'm just another trophy in his glass case. But when he watches me, something in his eyes says otherwise. I should be afraid. I should want out. But the truth is... part of me wants to shatter this whole house and watch what happens when he finally bleeds for me." Alina Rose has been the crown jewel of the Dollhouse Agency for four years. Every client is screened, every move she makes is monitored, and every dollar she earns filters through Cass Ward's system. She's made peace with being a fantasy-until Cass starts showing signs that he wants her for real. Cass built his empire in silence. Unlike the flashy crime lords before him, he's precise and invisible. In public, he's a respected face in development and nightlife. Behind closed doors, he rules through fear and loyalty. But Alina? She's the only one who ever made him feel seen. And that terrifies him. When a rival organization targets the Dollhouse, Alina becomes leverage in a war she never signed up for. Cass must choose: keep her caged to protect her, or let her go to keep her safe. And Alina? She's tired of being handled like silk. She wants something real-even if it means breaking the heart of a man who never learned how to love without control.

She reinvents herself, gets therapy, becomes a nurse, and even marries a kind man who doesn't know the full truth about her past. Ten years later, King is finally released on parole. She searches for Nia with one purpose: to reclaim what she believes is hers. But when she sees Nia with her husband, the jealousy eats her alive. King makes a deadly choice: she kills the husband in cold blood, thinking she's freeing Nia. Now Nia is caught between the new life she built... and the old protector who never let her go.
