Her Release by Clara Beckett (The Chambers Series)

Jude Carver lives without boundaries or caution, yet she cannot stop thinking about Maeve O’Brien, the principled legal aid solicitor who keeps everyone at arm’s length. A desperate case forces them to work together under strict rules about professionalism and distance. They last three weeks. Long nights in a cramped office and arguments that end too close make it impossible to ignore their pull toward each other.

One vulnerable moment breaks Maeve’s careful walls, and Jude becomes the first person she has let in for years. But when Jude publishes a story without warning, Maeve’s career implodes and everything between them detonates. Now, with Maeve’s future burning and Jude at her door at midnight, Maeve must decide which is more frightening, letting Jude back in or learning who she is without her.
