Summary

⚠️ TW: Dark themes, power play, obsession, kink, emotional manipulation, and courtroom tension. 18+ "He wants to hear her scream. She's trained to record silence." Ember Montgomery is a court reporter - precise, guarded, and invisible in a courtroom full of monsters. She's survived more than the cases she transcribes... and she's made peace with staying in the background. Until Killian Stone walks in. He's the most feared defense attorney in New York - brilliant, brutal, and merciless in and out of court. But when his next high-profile case puts him face to face with Ember, he doesn't just want to win. He wants her. Obsessed. Possessive. Dangerous. Killian sees through Ember's silence - and he's determined to pull every secret out of her mouth, one moan at a time. But Ember has secrets she'd die to protect. And Killian never plays fair.
