A private collection of forbidden love letters.
Dear Maeve,
I have one rule, written for men exactly like him: never take a client with history. I have never broken it. Not for money, not for anyone, not once — until his name landed on my desk requesting me specifically, and some ugly, competent part of me was glad.
From The Boardroom Truce
The opening chapters are free to read.
