Bestselling author Cara Putman returns with a romantic legal
thriller that will challenge the assumptions of truth tellers
everywhere. Savannah Daniels has worked hard to build her law
practice, to surround herself with good friends, and to be the
loyal aunt her troubled niece can always count on. But since her
ex-husband's betrayal, she has trouble trusting anyone. Jett
Glover's father committed suicide over a false newspaper report
that ruined his reputation. Now a fierce champion of truth, Jett is
writing the story of his journalism career-an international
sex-trafficking expose that will bring down a celebrity baseball
player and the men closest to him, including Savannah's ex-husband.
When Jett's story breaks, tragedy ensues. Then a commercial airline
crashes, and one of Savannah's clients is implicated in the crash.
Men connected to the scandal, including her ex, begin to die amid
mysterious circumstances, and Savannah's niece becomes an unwitting
target. Against their better instincts, Jett and Savannah join
ranks to sort the facts from fiction. But can Savannah trust the
reporter who threw her life into chaos? And can Jett face the
possibility that he's made the biggest mistake of his life?

intelligent, and deeply satisfying." -Randy Singer, author of Rule
of Law The police say the woman was a murderer. Emilie Wesley knows
they can't be talking about her client . . . can they? To the world
it seems obvious: Kaylene Adams killed her daughter and then
herself. Attorney Emilie Wesley knows a different story: Kaylene
would never hurt anyone and was looking for a way out of a
controlling, abusive relationship. Her death shakes Emilie's belief
that she can make a difference for women in violent marriages, and
self-doubt plagues her as she struggles to continue her work in the
wake of the tragedy. Reid Billings thought he knew his sister-right
up until he learned how she died. Then he discovers a letter from
Kaylene begging him to fight for custody of her daughters if
anything should happen to her. No attorney in her right mind would
support an uncle instead of a father in a custody case, but
Kaylene's letter claims Emilie Wesley will help him. Thrown
together in the race to save Kaylene's surviving daughter, Emilie
and Reid pursue the constantly evasive truth. If they can hang on
to hope together, can they save a young girl-and find a future for
themselves in the process?
