The Court of Dust

Kosuke Onishi, ESQ,, 2025

When a struggling attorney inherits a crumbling Victorian mansion from a woman she barely remembers, she never expects to fall for the one man who should hate her most. Sophia Castellano has built her legal career on hard work and determination, clawing her way up from poverty to become a junior associate at a prestigious firm. So when she receives a letter informing her that she's inherited the magnificent Ashford Manor—fifteen acres of Gothic splendor in the city's most exclusive neighborhood—she can barely believe her luck. There's just one problem: James Ashford. Handsome, wealthy, and furious, James is the grandson who expected to inherit his family's estate. Instead, his grandmother left it to a stranger—a woman James remembers only as the housekeeper's daughter from one childhood summer. Convinced Sophia manipulated his dying grandmother, James is prepared to fight her in court and reclaim what's rightfully his. But Vivienne Ashford's will comes with conditions that force Sophia and James to work together for six months, restoring the neglected manor while cataloguing a century of family history. As they strip away layers of dust and uncover hidden treasures, the walls between them begin to crumble too. Just when passion ignites between them, a ruthless development corporation threatens to destroy everything. They want the manor's priceless riverfront gardens, and they'll use every legal weapon—from boundary disputes to will challenges—to take what they want. Now Sophia must fight not just for the house, but for the love she never expected to find. With corporate lawyers closing in and her six-month deadline ticking away, she'll discover that some legacies are worth any battle—and some loves are worth risking everything. A sweeping romance of inheritance and desire, where enemies become lovers and a forgotten mansion holds the key to both their futures. Perfect for fans of historical homes, courtroom drama, and swoon-worthy romance with depth and heart.
