The Bullet And The Barrister.

from MIKKELSBORN SERIES,
MIKKELSBORN CHAOS AND VALOR (The Currently Heirs): VALKO'S LIFE.

Valko is Mikkelsborn's Chief of Security & Operations-loyal, unyielding, the board's most feared enforcer. Perserhodite Sawyeress is the international human rights lawyer suing their most powerful subsidiary for illegal land seizure, displacing thousands. To the board, she is a threat to their billions. To Valko, she is a reckless agitator wasting her breath on a system that works. To Perserhodite, Valko is exactly what she calls him: the rich man's attack dog-a man who enforces cruelty for a paycheck, blind to the damage he does.

They start as absolute enemies. No banter, no softness, no quiet spark beneath the anger-only sharp words, clashing morals, and a deep, unshakable contempt. He shadows her because he's ordered to; she tolerates him only because the law demands it. Every glance is a challenge, every sentence a weapon. He sees arrogance; she sees a lack of conscience. Neither backs down.
