When Justice Burns by L.M. Soto

Claire Walker has spent her career documenting the worst of humanity—murder trials, devastating betrayals, and verdicts that never felt like justice. She thought nothing could surprise her anymore… until she meets a stranger she can’t stop thinking about.

Days later, he’s sitting at the defense table, facing federal charges that could destroy everything he’s built.

Billionaire Ethan Cade isn’t just a businessman fighting a white-collar case. He’s a soldier in a hidden war, and the syndicate framing him never expected a court reporter to look too closely.

But Claire sees the fractures in the evidence and now that she has uncovered the lie, she isn’t just a threat to them. She’s a target. For the first time in her career, she breaks every rule she’s built her life around—stealing what was never meant to be found, getting closer to a man she can’t resist, and crossing lines that could cost her career—or her life.

The court reporter who’s spent years documenting nightmares has finally found the truth—and the man—worth burning it all down for.
