Circumstantial, (Paperback)

She built walls for a living. He built doorways.<br>Corporate attorney Simone Adair doesn't lose - cases, arguments, or composure. So when she's assigned as lead counsel on Chicago's most high-profile affordable housing development, she expects the usual: late nights, hard negotiations, and a clear path to victory.<br>She does not expect Marcus Webb.<br>Two years ago, Marcus - a community architect with deep roots in the South Side - dismantled her client's case at a public hearing with devastating precision. She's never forgotten it. He's never apologized. And now they have ninety days to deliver a hundred-million-dollar project together or lose the careers that define them.<br>Forced proximity was supposed to be professional. It was never supposed to feel like this.<br>As deadline pressure mounts and walls begin to come down, Simone discovers that the man she wrote off as her enemy might be the one person who truly sees her - not the polished attorney, not the image, but the woman underneath who has been building structures around her heart since she was twelve years old.<br><i>Circumstantial</i> is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance about the space between the life you build and the one that builds itself around you - and what happens when the most important deadline isn't the one on the calendar.
