Bound: Primal Instincts Book 4
When judicial ethics meet breeding obsession, nobody wins. Except Gabriel.
Buckle up, moral flexibility enthusiasts! This is the story of a federal judge who's been running a three-year psychological operation disguised as legal proceedings, all to get the hot defense attorney knocked up.
Judge Gabriel Cross doesn't just abuse his power—he's turned corruption into an art form. While Hattie thinks she's Chicago's most brilliant attorney, Gabriel's been playing puppet master, rigging her cases and orchestrating her victories just so he can eventually collect on his investment.
And what does he want for three years of judicial manipulation? Her complete life makeover from successful lawyer to his personal baby factory. Because nothing says "romance" like destroying someone's career for breeding rights!
