Book description
Jack Hilliard is a 35-year-old assistant DA who appears to have it
all: intelligence, good looks, a great job, and a solid marriage with
his wife, Claire. But Jack finds himself at a crossroads in his life
when, on the same night his boss announces his resignation as DA,
Jack's subterranean flirtation with his enigmatic lawyer friend Jenny
bubbles to the surface.
Jack soon learns how easy it is to compromise his values and
comfortable life for ambition and desire.
Despite Claire's counsel to stand by his beliefs, Jack
misrepresents his position on the death penalty to secure the top spot
at the DA's office. As the pressures of the campaign mount, he
struggles to deny his growing obsession with Jenny, who supports his
ambitions at whatever cost.
When Jenny is charged with a heinous crime, and Jack is the only
one who can prove her innocence, he must make a Hobson's choice: save
Jenny by speaking out, or save his marriage and career by remaining
silent.
