Ace Donovan is a hotshot, no-nonsense defense lawyer who only takes pro bono cases-his mission: to free innocent people rotting in prison for crimes they didn't commit. But Ace doesn't play by the rules. He doesn't trust the system. And he sure as hell doesn't trust the cops.
Instead, Ace gets his hands dirty-breaking into crime scenes, getting into shootouts, and interrogating suspects himself. He operates like a private detective with a law degree and a vendetta.
But when he crosses paths with Detective Camila Reyes-a brilliant, stunning, and deeply principled cop-they clash hard. Until a case forces them to team up. She's by-the-book. He throws the book out the window. Together? They're either going to rewrite justice... or die trying.
Backed by the smartest paralegal in the country, a young autistic woman named Mara Lin, Ace's team is small but unstoppable.

"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?Complete
