Synopsis

From a former law professor of 30+ years and author of the Strictly Series

I moved to the perfect town to protect my children. Now I'm on trial for murder, and the only man who can save me is the lawyer I swore to destroy.

I had three rules when I moved to Sunshine, Florida: keep my head down, give my kids a safe place to grow up, and never trust the corporation that built the town.

Then the Head of School is found floating face down in a model home’s swimming pool, and the police stop looking for a killer the moment they find me. I’m the angry mother who argued with the victim in public. I’m the convenient scapegoat.

And Harley Jacks is my only way out.

He’s a brilliant, arrogant defense attorney from Georgetown—a man who represents everything I hate about the establishment. He’s cold, calculated, and infuriatingly composed. We fought on opposite sides of the curriculum war, but now he’s sitting at my dining room table, dismantling the prosecution’s case with a ruthless precision that leaves me breathless.

As the trial exposes a multi-million dollar corporate fraud and a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of the Kingdom of Joy Development Corporation, the late-night strategy sessions in my kitchen blur the lines between professional survival and dangerous temptation. The way he looks at me when the legal pads are put away makes me forget that he’s supposed to be the enemy.

But in a town built on illusions, trust is a liability. If I let him in, I risk my heart. If we lose the case, I lose my children.

We’re fighting a corporation that buys justice by the acre. And the verdict will either set us free... or bury us both.
