Overruled

Danica Pierce is one of the top divorce lawyers in Austin, and the only love in her life is her work. She has seen enough heartbreak in her job to believe that romance only ends in hurt, so she keeps her relationships purely physical. Now the biggest case of her career could win her a partnership, and she has one complication to hide: she is sleeping with the enemy.

Ezra Hart is a charming courtroom operator who has had far less luck winning over Danica herself. She has already decided he is an insufferable playboy and has set firm terms that the two of them will share a bed and nothing more. Ezra tries to prove he is more than that reputation, but the two end up as opposing counsel on the case that matters most to her.

As they face off in court, the harder fight is the one between them. Danica begins to suspect that much of what she believes about Ezra is only rumor, and that she is not the only one carrying emotional baggage. She has to decide whether her fear of trusting again will win out over her feelings for the man she took for her worst enemy.

Overruled is a steamy contemporary romance by Lana Ferguson.
