She Was the Judge at the Alpha King's Trial and Found Him Guilty—He Appealed. His Reason Was Her

"She Was the Judge at the Alpha King's Trial and Found Him Guilty—He Appealed. His Reason Was Her." Verity Strand has spent twelve years as the most respected magistrate in Harrowen's High Tribunal. Her rulings are flawless. Her composure is unshakable. So when she's assigned to preside over the trial of Corvin Trevane—the Alpha King accused of threatening territorial sovereignty—she does what she always does. She weighs the evidence. She delivers her verdict. Guilty. What she doesn't know is that the evidence was manufactured. That a powerful elder orchestrated the entire trial to seize control while the king sat in a cell. And that Corvin spent every moment of those three weeks not building his defense—but memorizing the way she pressed her fingertips together while she read. Because the gavel in her hand hums when he's near. The desk vibrates beneath her palms. And the mate bond he's been hiding since the first morning of the trial is about to become the most explosive piece of evidence this courtroom has ever seen. When he files his appeal—citing judicial conflict of interest because the judge is his fated mate—Verity's world of clean rulings and careful distance shatters. The truth about the elder's conspiracy, the forged evidence, and the witnesses who were blocked from testifying all come flooding into her courtroom. But the hardest thing she has to face isn't the corruption. It's the man standing in the defendant's chair, looking at her like she's the only verdict that ever mattered.
