The Valen-Maddox Clause

SIDDHII
The Valen-Maddox Clause In Brooklyn's most prestigious law school, love is illegal—especially when your last names are war. Sky Valen is the daughter of a corporate shark—lethal in the courtroom, feared in the boardroom. She's got jet-black hair down to her knees, a mouth that could make devils flinch, and a plan to rip apart the Maddox empire piece by piece. Ray Maddox is the golden boy of law school. Biker. Football captain. Heir to the rival firm that made her father’s life hell. He’s clean-cut on the outside, chaos underneath, and trained since birth to never lose a case—or his heart. When Sky and Ray are forced into a high-profile mock trial together, sparks fly—and not the good kind. They’re enemies. Rivals. Forbidden. But behind every sarcastic insult is a dare, every stolen glance a risk they’re both dying to take. Their fathers have blood on their contracts and secrets in their vaults. There’s one clause written between the lines neither of them expected: Fall for each other—and lose everything.
