Claire Walker has spent her career documenting the worst of humanity-murder trials, devastating betrayals, and verdicts that never felt like justice. She thought nothing could surprise her anymore... until she meets a stranger she can't stop thinking about.
Days later, he's sitting at the defense table, facing federal charges that could destroy everything he's built.
Billionaire Ethan Cade isn't just a businessman fighting a white-collar case. He's a soldier in a hidden war, and the syndicate framing him never expected a court reporter to look too closely.
But Claire sees the fractures in the evidence and now that she has uncovered the lie, she isn't just a threat to them. She's a target. For the first time in her career, she breaks every rule she's built her life around-stealing what was never meant to be found, getting closer to a man she can't resist, and crossing lines that could cost her career-or her life.
The court reporter who's spent years documenting nightmares has finally found the truth-and the man-worth burning it all down for.
