Mrs. Clark’s Office Girl (Good Girls, #2)

She built her empire one courtroom at a time. She doesn't lose cases. She doesn't lose control. And she absolutely does not fall for her paralegal.

Until her.

Zara Malik didn't come to Clark & Associates to make friends. She came to survive, to prove herself, and to get one step closer to the courtroom she'd been working toward her whole life. What she didn't plan for was Victoria Clark - forty-three, untouchable, the most formidable woman in Chicago corporate law - publicly tearing her apart on day one.

What she really didn't plan for was wanting her anyway.

Victoria Clark has rules. She built them the same way she built everything - deliberately, precisely, from the wreckage of a marriage that cost her more than she's ever admitted. The firm is hers. The floor is hers. Her walls are impenetrable.

Until a paralegal with dark eyes and a spine made of steel stops performing for her. Stops flinching. Stops pretending she doesn't see straight through every wall Victoria has ever built.

Late nights. Case files. Chinese takeout on a glass desk. A seatbelt clicked into place in three seconds neither of them breathe through.

The rules begin to blur.

The walls begin to fall.

And when a ghost from Victoria's past arrives to remind her what she lost - the only question left is whether she's brave enough to claim what she's found.

Some cases you don't win in the courtroom.

Some you win by finally choosing yourself.
