Imani Taylor has built her life around precision, excellence, and control. As a rising star in the District Attorney's Office, she's earned her reputation the hard way-never slipping, never losing, and never letting emotion cloud her judgment. She's finally on the verge of a career-defining promotion, and nothing will get in her way. Especially not him.
Jabari Anderson has always played the game his own way. Charming, relentless, and passionate about justice, he made a name for himself as a brilliant defense attorney willing to take on the cases others won't touch. He's used to winning-and more importantly, he's used to going toe-to-toe with Imani Taylor.
When a high-profile criminal liability case lands on their opposite sides of the courtroom, their decade-long rivalry reignites like wildfire. But as barbed arguments turn into late-night debates and playful jabs turn into stolen glances, the line between enemy and something else entirely begins to blur.

𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐆 When trying to save a life becomes a death sentence. Park Sunghoon has spent five centuries hiding what he truly is-the last vampire in a world that has forgotten his kind exists. Working as a painter at Seoul's art museum, he creates masterpieces in the solitude of night, his immortal hands capturing beauty that spans centuries of experience. Until one December night changes everything. When Sunghoon finds a dying stranger in an alley, he makes a choice that will haunt him forever. Believing his ancient blood can heal, he tries to save a life-only to discover that his greatest act of mercy becomes his most damning crime. Now he's accused of murder, and the evidence is undeniable: blood on his hands, a corpse at his feet, and no way to explain the truth without revealing the impossible. Enter Jake Sim, an overworked public defender fighting his own battles against Seoul's unforgiving legal system. Assigned to what seems like another hopeless case, he finds himself drawn to his mysterious client-a man whose quiet dignity and haunting eyes suggest there's more to this story than meets the eye. As Jake fights desperately to prove Sunghoon's innocence, their late-night strategy sessions become something deeper. But how do you defend someone whose very existence is a secret? And what happens when love blooms between two people, knowing one of them carries a truth that could destroy them both? In a city that never sleeps, two souls will discover that some cases can't be won in court-they can only be decided by the heart. But when immortality meets mortality, can love survive the weight of forever? A haunting tale of sacrifice, secrets, and the price of loving someone you can never truly save.

Enemies to Lovers × Forced Proximity × Opposite Attracts!! • Female Lead - A fierce, idealistic lawyer with a quiet fire in her. Sharp-tongued in court, soft-hearted in private. Driven by justice, not afraid to go against power. • Male Lead - A cold, calculated businessman who believes everything (and everyone) has a price. Rational, guarded, a man who plays by his own rules. ________________________________________________ 📍Setting: Modern-day Mumbai, with glimpses into Delhi's courtrooms and Goa's scenic escapes. ________________________________________________ When the fire of justice meets the ice of power, sparks aren't just inevitable-they're explosive.

But when they're both forced into a high-stakes mediation in Goa to avoid a PR nightmare, something shifts. Because beneath the suits and sarcasm, they begin to see pieces of each other neither ever expected - her vulnerability buried beneath all that fire, and his softness behind all that steel. But can two people on opposite sides of the law and life ever find common ground? Or are they doomed to always meet only in battles? ________________________________________________

Love On Trial

20 parts Ongoing Mature

She had the world watching before she even stepped into her first lecture hall. Daughter of two powerhouse attorneys, KAMRYN PIERCE grew up knowing her last name carried weight. Now accepted into one of the top law schools in the country, she's determined to carve her own path, not just live in her parents' shadow. Late nights buried in books, the constant pressure of being a role model for her younger brother, and the silent competition with her peers leave her little room for anything else-especially love. On the other side of the city, AVERY KNIGHT, a rising author with two bestselling projects under his belt, is fighting his own battle. The words that once flowed effortlessly now feel heavy, his next big masterpiece just out of reach. Hungry for inspiration, he agrees to attend a gala honoring Black leaders and trailblazers. He expects speeches and handshakes. What he doesn't expect is her. When Kamryn and Avery's worlds collide under the glow of ballroom lights, neither one of them is prepared. She's discipline and structure; he's creativity and chaos. Yet, in each other, they discover what it feels like to finally let go- to be seen, to be cared for, and to love without fear. But ambition comes with sacrifices, and as their lives intertwine, both will have to decide: Is chasing their dreams worth it if it means losing the first person who made them feel free?
