Overview
A USA Today BestsellerTwo divorce lawyers determined to share only beds but not hearts discover that love is something that can't be overruled in this steamy contemporary romance by Lana Ferguson, USA Today bestselling author of The Game Changer. Danica Pierce has one great love in her life: work. As one of the top divorce lawyers in Austin, Danica lets her caseload keep her warm at night and has no problem being married to her job, not when love only ends in hurt. When the biggest case of her career gives her a shot at making partner, it seems like nothing could possibly stand in her way...except for her infuriating secret: she's sleeping with the enemy. Ezra Hart is known for charming his way in and out of a courtroom. In the matter of winning Danica Pierce's heart, however, he's been far less successful. With her verdict to keep things purely physical with no chance of appeal, Ezra struggles to show Danica he's more than the insufferable playboy she's pegged him to be--especially since they find themselves on opposing sides of Danica's most important case to date. While Dani and Ezra battle it out in the courtroom, the real trial is the one happening between them. When Dani realizes that everything she knows of Ezra might be hearsay--and that she's not the only one with emotional baggage--she must choose between her fear of trusting again and the feelings blossoming between her and the man she thought was her worst enemy.

Lana Ferguson has crafted a sharp contemporary romance with the sexy, saucy Overruled, where there’s more drama in the bedroom than in the courtroom.
Danica Pierce is a divorce attorney working for one of Austin’s top law firms. She’s tough and headstrong, and when she makes up her mind, she stays the course. It all stems from her parents’ divorce, which she’s never quite gotten over. Dani holds up that failure as a talisman, warding off potential suitors and romantic relationships that drift her way. As a result, she’s jaded and gun-shy about relationships. And, oh yeah, she’s sleeping with the enemy.
That enemy is Ezra Hart. He’s another successful divorce attorney and, in this case, Dani’s opposing counsel in a high-profile split that has the whole city paying attention. Ezra works for the family firm, and his father, whom he refers to as Alexander rather than dad, feels confident they’ve got an easy win. Alexander hits below the belt and tiptoes close to the wrong side of the law; Ezra operates aboveboard and with integrity. But Alexander is still family, and Ezra struggles with putting his growing feelings for Dani above maintaining loyalty. The stakes are high: If Dani wins, she makes partner at her firm. If Ezra wins, Alexander will see it as support for his shady ethics.
Dani and Ezra’s chemistry is undeniable, their secret trysts impossible to give up. At first, Overruled seems like a flirty romp, two characters working out the stress of a long day in court via cathartic sexual escapades. But it’s also a cautionary tale about putting up too many barriers to happiness. Dani is her own worst enemy, and Ezra lacks the chutzpah to follow through on tough conversations. And they both fall back on a quickie in the closet rather than being brave enough to trust the truth in front of them. That’s the crux of this enemies-to-lovers story: Ezra is a good man, and Dani deserves happiness. Their inability to simply talk to each other sometimes distracts from the momentum of the story, but once they learn to communicate with more than their bodies, their Happily Ever After is inevitable.
