Book One of Reasonable Doubt, a steamy opposing counsel romance.
Martha Caldwell didn't believe in fate. So when she saw him at that long conference table, she didn't call it fate. She called it an ambush.
The Marlowe Community Center case was exactly the kind of work Martha lived for - high-profile, meaningful, another step toward making partner. No one ever said mediation had to be friendly, just agreed upon. But no one had mentioned she'd be seated across from Devon Avery.
Navy suit, sleeves pushed up just enough to look effortless. Devon Avery made everything look effortless. It was deeply irritating.
He was a complication. And that was all he was supposed to be.
Martha had built her career on being unreadable. Composure wasn't vanity - it was the whole point. No one got to see past it. That had always been the rule. Devon Avery was becoming a problem for the rule.
