Imani Sterling has built her career protecting her family's powerful company, but when investigative journalist Eden Shaw uncovers evidence of concealed structural dangers and millions routed through fraudulent contractors, the empire Imani was raised to defend begins collapsing around her. Every document points toward betrayal, and one of the most damaging signatures belongs to Imani herself.

As the investigation pulls them closer, professional rivalry becomes an attraction neither woman can safely ignore. Eden must decide whether she can trust the attorney at the center of her greatest story, while Imani must choose between the family that shaped her and the truth that could destroy them. Intense, intelligent, and deeply romantic, Fault explores what happens when love demands not innocence, but the courage to become accountable.
