Fracture Point

She built her career on winning. He's the one case she can't close.

Cassandra Maren is a self-made defense attorney with a ruthless reputation and a perfect record. Raised in Astoria by a single mother, she clawed her way to the top of Manhattan's most prestigious law firm - no connections, no shortcuts, no mercy. When she's assigned to defend Marcus Hale in the most high-profile fraud trial of the decade, she's ready to deliver the argument of her career.

There's just one problem: the prosecutor across the aisle.

Dominic Ashford - Columbia Law rival, privileged son of a judicial dynasty, and the man who stole her future six years ago. At least, that's the story she's been telling herself. Dominic is brilliant, infuriating, and carrying a secret about their shared past that could shatter every assumption she's built her hatred on.

When Judge Calderón orders both attorneys into a locked conference room for forty-eight hours of forced negotiation, the professional distance between them collapses. No phones. No associates. No witnesses. Just two people who've spent six years turning each other into symbols - and forty-eight hours to discover who's actually underneath.

But Dominic is hiding something else. A flaw in his own case. Evidence he should have disclosed. And the longer he stays silent, the more the line between protecting his career and protecting her becomes impossible to hold.

Fracture Point is a sharp, sophisticated enemies-to-lovers legal romance set against the high-stakes world of Manhattan criminal law. Told in dual POV, it's a slow-burn story of two guarded people who've spent years as adversaries - and one trial that forces them to decide what matters more: winning the case, or telling the truth.
