Case Closed

"Are you even capable of feeling something other than control?" She's sick of him. He might be her future boss but there is no reason for him to be a total dick.

" I am capable of many things... " he leads in his lips right by hers as his grip on her waist tightens

"Would you like me to show you?" He looks straight into her eyes

"Yes"

Makayla Faith Carter is not your typical law student. Ex-military brat. Black belt. Doesn't take orders well-unless she gives them first. She's tough, brilliant, and determined to graduate top of her class and land a position at Harrington & Cole, one of the most prestigious law firms in the state.

She gets in as a summer intern and instantly dominates-until she meets "Xander" Alexander James Harrington, the firm's untouchable golden boy. Early 30s. Tailored suit. Ice-blue eyes. He's the soon-to-be partner -and heir to the company, known for being impossibly composed and impossible to impress.

He thinks she's reckless.

She thinks he's arrogant.

Their first interaction? A full-blown argument in the conference room over strategy. He shuts her down in front of everyone. She refuses to apologize.

They're assigned to work together on a high-profile case.

Disaster.

Every late-night briefing turns into a verbal spar. Heated debates end with lingering eye contact. She refuses to show weakness. He refuses to let her win.
