Legal Sparks — Ann Hood

Facing off with Marcus Hale wasn't exactly on my to-do list, but here we are. I'm Bella Carter, lawyer extraordinaire with a reputation for taking on corporate titans and-more often than not-winning. But Marcus? He's different. Equal parts infuriating and magnetic, our boardroom clashes feel like a dangerous game of chess where every move gets more personal. Then there's Vera, his ice-cold ex, stirring the pot and reminding me that this isn't just about business-it's about survival. Navigating corporate politics is tough enough without all the tension, but as the stakes rise, I'm starting to wonder if there's more on the line than my career. Am I ready to risk it all for a shot at something beyond the office drama? Or will this game prove too costly to play?
