Enemies in court. Magnetic in chaos. One penthouse. Zero kisses... so far.
Casey Reed doesn't believe in love - only in victory. As the top attorney at her Manhattan firm, she's carved a reputation for brilliance, ruthlessness, and an ice-cold heart.
Enter Logan Whitmore: British, brilliant, and infuriatingly charming. He calls her love, smirks through every argument, and somehow keeps matching her move for move - in court, in crisis, and in the dark hours where secrets start to slip.
When a high-stakes case throws them together, tempers flare, tension boils, and the walls Casey's built begin to crack.
They're rivals. They're partners.
They definitely shouldn't be anything more.
But when sparks turn to fire, how long can they ignore the heat

Dylan Thomas is a legend-Georgetown alum, named partner. She's smart, stunning, and absolutely off-limits. At least that's what Niamh tells herself every time their paths cross. But Dylan's tired of the games, both legal and romantic, and signs up for Blind Dait in a moment of reflection. When the anonymous chats become more than flirty and the tension in real life gets harder to ignore, Niamh and Dylan are on a collision course between the courtroom and the heart. They might be each other's perfect match online. If only they can get past the sparks-and the secrets-when they face off against each other. Love is blind. The courtroom isn't.Complete
