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

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.

Rafael is bold, brilliant, and hiding secrets behind every smirk. He swears he's innocent. Simone isn't sure if she believes him, but she can't deny the pull between them. 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. In a city built on heat and deception, love might be the most dangerous game of all.

When a fellow officer turns up dead-executed with a message meant for her-Callie is forced to choose: finish the mission and risk losing herself, or fall for the woman she was sent to destroy.

Under Oath | BWWM ✔️ by BlairsPen

DISCLAIMER: This book contains explicit content and mature themes intended for readers aged 18 and over. It is not a traditional romance, but rather a deeply complex and dark exploration of a toxic relationship. The characters' dynamics involve intense emotional manipulation, power struggles, and actions that may be triggering to some readers.

"Tell me again how you don't want me," he whispers, dragging his lips down her neck. "Say it under oath, and I might even believe you." Jasmine Taylor doesn't lose. Not in the courtroom, not in life. At just twenty-six, she's built an ironclad reputation: fierce, brilliant, and unshakably professional. But when she's assigned the biggest case of her career-defending Dimitri Alekseev, a dangerously alluring Russian immigrant accused of murder-her world begins to crack. Dimitri isn't just a suspect. He's a problem. Tall, tattooed, and terrifyingly unreadable, with ties to a powerful family the law doesn't dare touch. The evidence against him is overwhelming. The press wants him buried. And deep down, Jasmine suspects the whispers are true. But the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to separate fact from instinct. Because beneath his cold exterior is something intoxicating. Calculated charm. Raw heat. And secrets whispered in the dark. As the trial barrels forward, Jasmine finds herself pulled into his world-one filled with shadows, blood ties, and undeniable temptation. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks not just her career, but her safety... and her soul. What happens when the woman who always plays by the rules falls for the man who was born to break them?
