In the courtroom, they're fierce adversaries. Outside of it, the chemistry is undeniable.

Miranda Chen has everything she's ever worked for—partner at a prestigious Manhattan law firm, a reputation as one of the city's most formidable litigators, and a carefully controlled life with no room for distractions. Especially not distractions in expensive suits who happen to be opposing counsel.

Alexander Hayes is brilliant, infuriating, and far too attractive for Miranda's peace of mind. For two years, they've battled across courtrooms, each case a high-stakes chess match where only one can win. He's the only attorney who truly challenges her—and the only man who's ever made her question her rules about mixing business with pleasure.

When Alexander extends an unexpected dinner invitation the weekend before their biggest trial yet, Miranda breaks her cardinal rule: never get close to the opposition. One dinner becomes stolen moments between court sessions, late-night texts, and the terrifying realization that she's falling for the one person who could upend everything she's built.

But in a world where reputation is everything and one wrong move can destroy a career, can two opposing counsel find common ground? When professional ethics clash with personal desire, and courthouse gossip threatens to undermine them both, Miranda and Alexander must decide: Is love worth the risk of losing it all?

A sophisticated contemporary romance about ambition, vulnerability, and discovering that the best verdict isn't always the one delivered from the bench—it's the one written in your heart.
