One Case Down (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798998746437)

In a workplace ruled by optics and ambition, one secret romance could cost them everything-including the love neither saw coming.

Britney Caldwell's life is finally falling into place. She's perfected the art of casual flings and professional polish, has a tight-knit friend group, and is about to start her dream job as a lawyer. Feeling untouchable, she allows herself one reckless night with a charming stranger, fully convinced it will remain a delicious secret she never revisits. But when she walks into her new firm and discovers that stranger is one of the partners, Britney realizes that boundaries are a lot harder to maintain when chemistry, ambition, and feelings get involved.

Carter Rhodes has built his career on charm, control, and doing whatever it takes to come out on top. Yet from the moment Britney walks into his office as the firm's newest associate, the carefully maintained distance between his professional and personal life disappears. What was supposed to be one unforgettable night becomes an impossible distraction, and the more time he spends with Britney, the harder it is to pretend this is something he can walk away from.

As their pasts collide with their presents, Carter and Britney must navigate a workplace where reputation, power, and desire are constantly at odds. With careers on the line and feelings they can't ignore, they have to decide whether to play it safe or trust that what they've found in each other is worth the fallout.
