Strictly Justice
A Reporter Meets DA Age Gap Romance
She chases the truth for a living. He fights for it in court. When their worlds collide, the sparks are undeniable — but with powerful enemies closing in, is love worth the risk when justice hangs in the balance?
"It blends two things that don't always coexist smoothly — a gritty fight for truth and a slow-burn romantic tension that feels earned rather than forced. New Orleans isn't just a backdrop here — it's a living, breathing presence."
— Megan Sporleder, Amazon Reviewer
New Orleans. A death row case.
A love that could cost them everything.

Out Now!
One Grieving Heiress. One Guarded Single Father.
Philip doesn't do messy. At forty-one, he's a disciplined consultant and devoted single dad who believes control keeps life predictable—until a deathbed promise pulls him to New Orleans to save a failing family business. Melissa is drowning in grief at twenty-five. Her father is gone, her family's coffee empire is crumbling, and the weight of legacy rests on her shoulders. She doesn't need a silver-fox outsider telling her how to save her city... even if he listens, even if he cares, even if her heart races every time he's near. When Philip's children arrive for the summer and a hurricane looms offshore, they must decide if what they're building is strong enough to survive the storm.

One anonymous night at a masquerade party. One unforgettable encounter. One impossible complication.
I never expected to see my masked stranger again—until billionaire Cole Ashford walks into my office as my newest client. He's fighting for custody of his daughter, and I'm the only one who can help him. But our explosive chemistry makes staying professional nearly impossible.
I watch Cole transform from workaholic CEO to devoted father, and I can't help falling for the man he's becoming. When the custody case closes, we finally give in to our forbidden attraction. But going public triggers an ethics investigation that could destroy everything I've built.
Now I have to choose: the reputation I've spent years building or the family I never knew I wanted.
Because some things are worth fighting for—and some loves are strictly personal.

What Readers Are Saying
Julian Croft is the brilliant, devastatingly handsome defense attorney standing between me and justice for my father's death. He's defending the pharmaceutical company that destroyed fifteen thousand lives, including the one that mattered most to me.
One night in Colorado changed everything. Now we're back in Pittsburgh, facing off in the courtroom by day while I can't stop remembering how he touched me by night.
Then he shows up at my door with a file that will blow the case wide open—and destroy everything he's ever known. He's offering me the weapon I need to win. But accepting it means crossing a line we can never uncross.
In a world where justice is bought and sold, what's Strictly Legal...and what is forbidden?
"When the evidence is damning, but the attraction is undeniable."
