Verdict of the Heart

DaoistCaoZdy
Aria Stone is a public defender who fights for people the system forgot. She's sharp, guarded, and has exactly one rule trust has to be earned. Lucas Vale is senior corporate attorney at the most powerful firm in the city and the opposing counsel on the biggest case of her career. The last man she should be trusting. When their shared mentor Judge Raymond Harmon dies and leaves them co-owners of his beach house with a condition requiring sixty days of living there together they have no choice but to make it work. But the house is more than an inheritance. Harmon was building something long before he died. And he chose them both deliberately. A conspiracy that runs deeper than either of them anticipated. A father Aria said was dead. A firm corrupt from the inside out. And two people who keep finding each other in the middle of all of it. Some verdicts can't be appealed.

The Dragon Heir's Secret Mother

She is his enemy. He wants her son. And he just asked her to marry him. “Marry me.” “W-What?” Selene came to the Northern Territory under a false name—Lina—with a single goal: to uncover the truth behind the black scales on her son’s shoulder and the identity of his mysterious father. Instead of answers, she finds herself face-to-face with Caelis Valerian, the Grand Duke of the North—a man feared for his ruthlessness toward mages, yet revered as the unwavering protector of the beast clans. To the world, Lina is nothing more than an ordinary woman. But in truth, she is Selene—a powerful mage and swordswoman, feared by bandits and respected by mortals. Her son, Claude, however, appears to be an ordinary little boy. So why does the Grand Duke take such a keen interest in him… to the point of naming him his heir? To make Claude his legitimate successor, Caelis offers Lina a three-year contract marriage—one she cannot refuse. What begins as a cautious arrangement soon shifts. Trust grows as the distance between them fades, and before they realize it, love begins to bloom. But love built on secrets is fragile. Selene is the legendary Lunar Frost Sovereign—the very enemy Caelis has been hunting, with a bounty placed on her head. And Caelis, unaware of the truth, hesitates to grow closer to her, believing her heart still belongs to the man who fathered Claude… his own brother. When the truth is finally revealed, will their love survive—or will their contract marriage shatter before it ever truly begins?
