Two lawyers. One impossible case. A partnership neither of them planned.
Zuri Okon has spent years building her life into something unshakable. At twenty-eight, she's the youngest attorney on track to make partner at Lagos's most competitive law firm. Her rules are simple: stay focused, stay professional, and never, ever let anyone see you sweat. Especially not Clinton Adam-the firm's most brilliant, most intimidating senior partner.
He's everything she's avoided her whole career: calm, unreadable, dangerously magnetic.
So when Clinton personally selects her for a high-profile divorce case in Cape Town, Zuri knows two things for sure-this could make her career, and it could break her heart.
Because the longer they work together, the more the lines between professionalism and desire begin to blur. The case turns messy, the clients turn volatile, and somewhere between courtrooms and hotel rooms, Zuri starts to realize that winning might mean losing the one thing she's fought hardest to protect-herself.
Set against the shimmering skylines of Lagos and the golden coasts of Cape Town, this is a story about ambition, love, and the terrifying beauty of letting someone in. It's about what happens when two people who live by the rules finally meet someone worth breaking them for.
Sharp, emotional, and irresistibly romantic, this book asks the question:
What if your greatest competition becomes the person who truly sees you?
