    Summary

    To Shane Holland, the law is a shield: a set of rules, precedents, and predictable outcomes designed to keep chaos at bay. He is the legacy admission, the top of the class, the golden boy.

    To Ilya Rozanov, the law is a weapon. He is the scholarship kid with a chip on his shoulder, a gravelly voice, and a terrifying ability to dismantle Shane’s arguments—and his composure—in seconds.

    For four years of undergrad, they destroy each other in the classroom. For three years of law school, they compete for the same prestigious firms. Shane thinks he’s sleeping with his academic rival. He doesn’t realize he’s falling in love with a man who hasn’t met himself yet.

    A timeline-spanning story of rivalry, grief, transition, and the evidence required to prove that some contracts are written in ink, but the best ones are written in blood.
