Legally Bound to You: a romance novel by Maria Barnett

Handsome and ruthless, Richard is every woman's dream - in and out of the courtroom.
I'm Emily Mitchell, a seasoned attorney seeking sanctuary from the legal storm at my local animal shelter. It's here, amid wagging tails and furry smiles, where I try to forget the courtroom battles and recharge. That is until Richard Anderson, my courtroom rival, appears, challenging me in more ways than one.
Now, we're thrust together as co-counsel on a high-profile case tasked with proving our client's innocence. It's hard enough to maintain professionalism with the tension between us mounting, but it gets even more complex when Richard adopts Roe, the dog I secretly adore from the shelter. As our attraction grows, the lines between professional and personal blur, making every encounter a test of wills.
Navigating through legal strategies by day and unresolved tension by night, can we keep our feelings in check, or will the case be the only thing we manage to win together? Every moment feels like a step closer to chaos-or something unexpectedly wonderful.
