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.All Rights Reserved

Tag, You're Mine by haileywp103

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.

With the city watching and enemies circling, their connection ignites into something raw and reckless. As the case unravels and the truth comes to light, Simone will have to decide what she's willing to risk: her reputation, her heart, or both.

Objection, Your Honor | Danon by essence_raine

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.

The Storm Within by mythli

Lisa Hall has spent her life running from a past she can't remember and a truth her grandmother refuses to tell. When she lands an internship at the elite London law firm Spade & Wright, it feels like escape-until her first case drags her into a murder tied to an old cartel and to her own bloodline. Every step forward uncovers another secret: a witness who disappears, a friend who betrays her, and a mentor whose charm hides something poisonous. As danger closes in, Lisa must decide whether justice is worth her life-or if survival itself is the only verdict that matters. What Lisa doesn't know is that the mastermind behind the chaos is someone she trusts completely. And by the time she learns the truth, the storm inside her will have already broken.

Hostile Counsel by ilikemilfsgetoveritt

The brilliant and scandal-shrouded tech CEO is facing a federal indictment that could destroy her empire. She's arrogant, reckless, and entirely too comfortable breaking rules. Valentina knows better than to get close-but Emery makes resistance feel like weakness. What starts as strategy meetings and legal briefs turns into late nights, charged glances, and a battle of wills neither woman is prepared to lose. Valentina is used to dominating the courtroom-but with Emery, every glance is a dare, every touch a negotiation. -RANKINGS- 🥇#1 in #girlxgirlbook 🥇#1 in #lesbianbook 🥇#1 in #womanxwoman 🥇 #1 in #loveislove 🥇 #1 in #client
