Docket No. 44

Docket No. 44 — A Legal Romance of Power, Vulnerability, and Redemption When elite New York litigator Sophia Reeves accepts a mysterious file labeled Docket No. 44, she expects a high-stakes corporate crisis—not Atticus Harmon, the enigmatic billionaire who walks into her life like a storm she never planned for. Atticus has a secret, one capable of destroying reputations and futures. He needs the very best lawyer to erase the threat and protect the only family he has left. Sophia, precise, controlled, and untouchable, is used to solving other people's crises—not falling into one herself. But as the case unfolds and walls begin to crack, protection turns into connection, strategy into desire, and discretion becomes impossible. What begins as a careful professional dance explodes into a forbidden romance neither expected—and both fear could cost everything. Soon, Sophia must navigate betrayal, jealousy, ethics inquiries, and a world where power and vulnerability collide. And when ghosts from Atticus's past return seeking mercy, she discovers that the hardest battles aren't fought in court—they're fought in the heart.
