Fresh out of law school, Dani Wellford is determined to make her mark with her first solo case. Too bad her mysteriously uncooperative client seems determined to land behind bars. And too bad the smoking hot assistant DA prosecuting the case makes her pulse race every time they clash.
Cameron Townsend has an impressive conviction record, but his latest case is proving... challenging. Not because the evidence is weak---it's ironclad. Not because the rookie defense attorney is incompetent---she's smart, funny, and way too sexy. The problem? He can't stop thinking about her, and she's getting dangerously close to costing him the conviction that will make his whole career.
Enemies in court, lovers after hours--they're trapped in an impossible choice: honor their oaths as an attorneys and each lose the one person who sets their soul on fire or follow their hearts and betray everything they've ever fought to become. Either way, when the verdict comes in, they''ll both lose something they can't bear to live without.
Justice has never been so complicated---or so seductive.

Hi, I'm Cindy Dees! I first began writing while I was a pilot in the United States Air Force because I bet my Mom a dollar I could write a book. I won the bet in short order and realized I loved to write in the process. I criss-crossed the world for years with my trusty laptop in tow, waiting eagerly for the day when my security clearances expired and I could start sharing my stories with you. And finally, that day has arrived! When I left the Air Force to start a family, it was a natural transition for me to an LWD-6, a Large Wooden Desk with six drawers, and my well-traveled laptop computer, of course. My first book introduces an elite Air Force Special Forces team, known simply as Charlie Squad, to readers. And to answer the inevitable question, yes, I do relate some of my own real life experiences in my books. As for which parts of my books are real, all I'll say on the subject is that I'm happily married to my own real life, Air Force pilot hero. I live on a ranch near Fort Worth, Texas with the man of my dreams, our daughter, three dogs, and an assortment of creeping and crawling critters my daughter brings in to the house.
