He's the nation's most feared judge. She's the President's only daughter. One kiss could destroy them both.
Nathaniel is a man of control-cold, commanding, and utterly untouchable. As one of the country's most powerful Supreme Court justices, he's built his life on discipline, logic, and an iron will. But behind the sharp suits and relentless authority lies a heart scarred by loss... and a vow to never fall again.
Ruby is everything Nathaniel isn't-warm, bold, and fiercely compassionate. As the daughter of the President of the United States, she's used to navigating the spotlight. But nothing could prepare her for working under the steely gaze of the arrogant, devastatingly handsome man known as "The Ice Judge."
When Ruby arrives as his new intern, sparks fly-irresistible, forbidden, and impossible to ignore. One stolen kiss shatters their carefully built walls and ignites a passion neither of them can deny. But love in the halls of power comes at a high price.
As secrets rise and danger looms closer than either of them imagined, Nathaniel must face the one verdict he's never been ready to deliver:
Will he protect his heart, or fight to save hers?
