Passionate Defense by Maddie Taylor

Passion and danger are partners in crime in this sizzling legal romance.

Fierce and formidable, attorney Lanie Fischer worked hard to earn her reputation as the Ice Queen. Her colleagues know how well she performs under pressure, and her record of successfully defending her clients speaks for itself. But deep beneath Lanie’s steely exterior is a woman who is anything but cold-blooded, and she’s slowly crumbling under the weight of her very demanding job.
Quietly confident and unfailingly firm, law professor Ethan Fischer is done watching his wife suffer for the sake of her career. No matter how he’s approached the subject, Lanie has refused to take better care of herself. With his conventional options exhausted, he decides the only way to get through to his wife once and for all is to introduce her to a creative new form of stress management.
Soon, Lanie craves Ethan’s inspired new approach to relaxation, releasing her anxieties each time she submits to his loving commands. Just as things are looking up, both personally and professionally, a client she can’t forget threatens her newfound happiness. As a psychopath pursues Lanie with malicious intent, can Ethan defend his wife against the ultimate form of evil?
