She wasn't supposed to fall for her mentor.
She definitely wasn't supposed to kiss her in chambers.

But one man is watching. And he's about to turn longing into danger.

Cold as ice, perfect as a target.
One is cold as ice. The other - fire that never burns silently. Amelia Harrington - successful, flawless, uncompromising. She's the cold, impeccable, ruthless owner of a law firm and a teacher with merciless perfectionism and rules that no one is allowed to break. Alexandra Sawyer - young, fiery, ambitious. A lawyer pursuing a master's degree in English teaching. She believes the heart matters more than cold calculation - and she's not afraid to prove it. Their first meeting is a random argument in a coffee shop. The second is a surprise exam - where Amelia holds all the power. And uses it. It should've ended there. But where ice meets fire... there's always steam. And this story is all about it. Two women who can't get along - and can't stay away.

Love Penalty
COMPLETED✅ The punishment for murder is the death penalty, what about love? "Innocent until proven otherwise" Does this apply to matters of the heart? A story in which a lawyer ends up defending an inmate convicted of rape and second degree murder- that he claims he never did. Is he guilty? Is he innocent? Most importantly, is it morally acceptable to fall in love with an alleged murderer and rapist, let alone a client of hers? ❣️❣️❣️ Excerpt: When his shirt is dangling from his hand with him lifting it up towards his face to wear it, I snatch it from his hands. Throw it on the table beside me and grab his neck with one hand and my other traces his defined abs, and kiss him with full force. I thought he might pull away, saying he doesn't feel the same way towards me and I'm just his lawyer. That we're adults and need to refrain from acting like hormonally-driven teenagers. On the contrary -to my surprise - he kisses me back with the same amount of intensity and passion. One hand is on the side of my face and the other is holding me by the waist. We both taste like waffles and fresh strawberries and it's not something to complain about. Only when we're both out of breaths, we pull away, he smiles against me "What was that for?" He asks with his both hands on my waist now. "I've been meaning to do that for a while now" I truthfully answer his question. He has been on my mind 24/7 non stop from the moment I took his case. ❣️❣️❣️ *contains mature themes. *contains swearing. 8/3/2020 -> #1 in OnTrialForMurder #2 in notmeanttobe 8/8/2020 -> #3 in wtfamidoing 10/16/2021 -> #13 in fml 7/20/2021 -> #1 in ihateeverything 10/10/2021 -> #39 in mixedfeelings 4/18/2022 -> #1 in prison #2 in murder #1 in lawyer #1 in damagedConcluida
Power play. (WLW) starring Dakota Johnson
Being a lawyer in New York could be a little challenging, but Ariana knew the game well. She came from old money and ran one of the top law firms in the country-perhaps even the world. Her firm worked closely with the NYPD and specialized in common law. Most cases were handled by the firm's team of seasoned attorneys. But one particular case had been assigned to her by her father-a man who never left room for disagreement. The client was powerful, dangerous, and far too familiar. Ariana wasn't just expected to win the case-she was expected to manage her. And with Roma Fenwick, nothing was ever simple. Boundaries blurred, motives twisted, and every encounter felt like a power struggle disguised as seduction. Authors note: My characters are NOT healthy people, so if it's triggering for you, i would recommend you to not read it. It's very psychological coded. There are many songs, movies and series references... Not looking to upset anyone. Everyone is welcomed to comment have fun while reading the book. Enjoy!
