The Silk Robe

Five 5-star reviews from Readers’ Favorite. 

A gripping legal drama and political thriller of power, betrayal, and a love found in the most unexpected place. 

The courtroom is her battlefield. Power is her weapon. But love… love is the one thing she never saw coming.

In the 1990s U.S. judicial system, Irene Dunne commands respect—a woman of elegance, brilliance, and unrelenting ambition. As an Administrative Judge, she holds firm control over the bench, ensuring fairness and efficiency in a system designed to uphold justice. But behind the polished chambers, she sees the harsh reality: corruption, incompetence, and a system struggling to keep pace with a changing society.

Determined to reform the system from within, Irene takes bold risks, drawing powerful enemies along the way. But justice is never simple as power shifts, alliances crack, and betrayal waits in the shadows. The harder she fights, the more treacherous the game becomes, until she faces an impossible choice: sacrifice everything for power or risk it all for a better system serving the public.

Amidst legal battles and political intrigue, Irene finds herself drawn to a man who challenges her, understands her, and proves his unwavering support when she needs it most.

But in a world where loyalty is currency and ambition is survival, will following her heart cost her everything?

• Perfect for readers who love gripping narratives filled with political intrigue, slow-burn romance, and high-stakes power struggles
• A compelling story of ambition, sacrifice, and a love found in the most unexpected place
• A must-read for fans of historical fiction, courtroom drama, and strong female protagonists navigating a world of power and betrayal

Power has a price. The question is, how much is Irene willing to pay?
