Barely Barred

Leigh Laurence

Avery Anders thought the bar exam would be the hardest thing she'd face until her law school sweetheart dumped her before the finish line. Now, newly barred and nursing a broken heart, she's stepping into her first big attorney job and directly into the center of a very complicated workplace triangle.

Jameson Sterling is her powerful, polished, and dangerously self-controlled boss. He shouldn't be interested in her. But every glance, every moment of tension-laced silence between them says otherwise.

Then there's Nash Collins, the firm's reckless and infuriatingly charming paralegal who doesn't play by the rules and makes Avery forget hers entirely. Younger, wilder, and completely unapologetic in his pursuit, Nash is the kind of temptation Avery knows she should resist but can't.

As Avery navigates high-stakes cases, impossible expectations, and the ruthless world of law, she finds herself falling for two men she can't have. The deeper she falls, the more the lines blur between right and wrong, pleasure and consequence. And when secrets begin to unravel, she'll have to make a choice between the career she's worked for, the men she's fallen for, and the woman she's becoming.

Sharp, sultry, and emotionally charged, Barely Barred is a story of ambition, desire, and one woman's fight to finally put herself first.
