Ex Parte

Six years of rivalry. Ten days under one roof. One case that could destroy them both.

Sloane Reyes knows better than to underestimate Elias Kade.

For six years, he has been the opposing counsel she can never quite forget. Brilliant. Infuriating. Controlled to the point of cruelty. The kind of attorney who doesn't raise his voice because he doesn't have to.

Now they're trapped together in an isolated arbitration, fighting opposite sides of a case neither can afford to lose.

No phones. No outside contact. No escape.

And Elias knows something.

Sloane can feel it in every question he doesn't ask. Every answer he seems to already know. Every moment his attention lingers on her just a little too long.

Because the most dangerous thing about Elias Kade isn't that he can dismantle her case.

It's that he can dismantle her.

As professional boundaries begin to fracture, Sloane discovers that the case she's fighting to win may have been built on a lie. The truth could destroy her client, threaten everything she's spent eleven years building, and force her to decide exactly what kind of attorney she is when no one else is willing to make the choice for her.

Meanwhile, six years of restraint between Sloane and Elias are becoming impossible to contain.

Because Elias has been waiting.

And he knows her far better than she ever realized.

A tense, seductive legal romance about ambition, obsession, forbidden attraction, and what happens when the person standing across from you is the only one who truly sees you.
