ATTORNEY RILEY MORGAN is still recovering from a devastating personal loss when a long-time friend and colleague convinces her to take on a new high-profile client at her Florida law firm. Little does she know the case will soon have federal agents knocking at her door and a highly skilled special agent, Kent Donovan, working behind the scenes to uncover a fraudulent enterprise that spans continents.

Riley's world becomes even more complicated as she battles shrewd and portentous attorney Sam Stone to gain her new client's freedom from an oppressive business arrangement with well-connected entertainment tycoon Tony Giordano. So far, not one young performer who has signed with Giordano has been able to untangle his stranglehold over their career.

And, no one beats Sam Stone at his own games, in the courtroom or in the bedroom. In the midst of the legal wrangling, Riley must also contend with a stalker intent on making her pay dearly for providing legal aid to a victim of domestic violence.

Still, for Riley, the gravest danger may be the one her new client, Evan Cole, poses to her well-guarded heart. Is he really just an innocent pawn in Giordano's games, or are his good looks and youthful charm hiding something more devious?

As Riley discovers the answers, the reader is taken along for an intriguing ride that is colored with the ominous shadow of an armed and dangerous killer, a challenging search to locate witnesses, heated legal battles, and Riley's very personal struggle to open up and allow someone new into her life.
