Icy Indictment : A Sapphic Romance (Ice Queen Temptations Book 2)

Philippa Sterne is the human equivalent of a glacial shelf: impenetrable, polished, and meticulously controlled. As a top attorney at a prestigious firm, she relies on her reputation for detachment to stay at the top of her game. Her world is orderly and frost-bitten—until Kit Malloy crashes through the front door. A former military police officer with a penchant for breaking rules and a complete disregard for corporate hierarchy, Kit is the polar opposite of the life Philippa has carefully curated. Recruited to investigate a high-stakes pharmaceutical scandal involving seven suspicious deaths, Kit is suddenly everywhere: in Philippa’s office, in her late-night paper stacks, and inevitably, in her head. What begins as a reluctant professional partnership quickly descends into a simmering, high-voltage game of cat and mouse. While Philippa views Kit as a reckless disruption, she can’t deny the magnetic pull that defies her icy defenses. But as they peel back the layers of a lethal corporate conspiracy, the danger outside matches the volatility within. When the truth behind their case threatens their lives, Philippa faces an impossible choice: cling to the hollow safety of her career or surrender to the fire of a woman who makes her finally feel alive.
