Crime & Defense

Two women meet in an alley and fulfill their mutual desire with a night of passion, neither expecting more than the few lusty hours they shared. Weeks later, Morgan Bradley and Parker Casey meet again — but this time one is a law professor and the other her student. A series of events lands them in the middle of a high-profile murder trial, but the twists and turns of the case are no match for the spiral of increasing attraction as they work side by side in the defense of justice.

When Aimee Howard, successful boutique real estate broker and socialite, is visited by federal agents looking to arrest her wayward niece, she hires the best defense money can buy. But she begins to question her confidence in the law firm when she learns they've hired a disgraced former police detective to take the lead. Homicide detective Skye Keaton's shortcuts in the name of justice have finally tipped the scales in the wrong direction. When an old friend trusts her with a simple task — find a young woman in hiding — she's happy to have the work, even though the client is a bossy former debutante who wants to micromanage her every move. Despite their best defenses, as they work together to regain what they've lost, both women find the magnetic attraction that develops between them hard to resist.
