Two brilliant attorneys. One explosive case. A forbidden attraction beneath the weight of justice.
Vivienne Cruz is the city's most revered and fearsome defense attorney - tall, gorgeous, cunning, and always ten steps ahead. But her newest case pits her against Celeste Ravencroft, a fierce and seductive rival with a steel-trap mind and a gaze that cuts deeper than cross-examination. When the courtroom becomes a battlefield, sparks fly and boundaries blur, leading to a dangerous passion neither woman expected.
Their rivalry takes a twist when they're forced to work together on a high-profile investigation involving the elite and untouchable Marquess family - heirs to a dynasty built on secrets, manipulation, and blood money. But the deeper Vivienne and Celeste dig, the darker the truth becomes. Hidden heirs. Institutional betrayal. Death threats. And a ticking clock.

Tag, You're Mine
Love. Trust. Promises. Years ago, Elianna Cortez and Veronica Sokolov were inseparable-two girls who promised each other the world. But then, Veronica vanished, leaving Elianna heartbroken and confused. Now an ambitious, bright-eyed lawyer, Elianna is trapped in a picture-perfect nightmare. Her husband, Victor Volkov, heir to an old-money empire, is charming to the public but abusive behind closed doors. He promises change, but Elianna knows better. Still, she stays-for reasons even she doesn't fully understand. One night, she's assigned a high-profile case involving Sokolov International, a shadowy business empire. When she walks into the boardroom, she freezes. Veronica is there-alive, powerful, cold, and breathtaking. She never stopped watching Elianna. In fact, she's been pulling strings to get her back. But Veronica isn't the same girl she once knew. She's now ruthless behind a polished corporate façade. As Elianna's life unravels, Veronica offers her an escape-but it comes with a price: loyalty, submission, and a love that might be more possessive than protective.

Objection, Your Honor | Danon
Manon Bannerman was the kind of lawyer you'd hire on sight. All sharp angles and sharper wit- plaid power suits tailored to perfection, hair slicked back like a promise, expensive cologne clinging to her skin like a threat. She walked into a courtroom like she owned the deed, every step exuding the kind of confidence reserved for those inches from making senior partner. For her, litigation was a blood sport- and she never left the arena without the win. Every case she touched, she devoured. Ruthless, eloquent, and relentless, prosecutors often stalled at the mere sight of her name on paper. The courtroom was her kingdom. Her opponents? Merely entertainment. She'd smirk through their arguments, dissecting them like weak closing statements. Except for one. Daniela Avanzini. A case that refuses to end. A rival that refuses to lose. A woman who- much to Manon's absolute fury- gets under her skin in ways no legal opponent ever should. Daniela's presence is an infuriating paradox: poised, infuriatingly eloquent, and so goddamn magnetic that Manon's jaw clenches and her brow creases every time she opens her perfectly painted mouth. To them? They despise each other. To everyone else? It's obvious. Because to the jury, to the judge, to the entire courtroom gallery- the only thing louder than their arguments is the crackling, unbearable, wildly inappropriate sexual tension threatening to burn the whole place down.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
