Book description
A hungry attraction. A hidden enemy.
Devoted defense lawyer Clare Westbrook, used to working for others,
can now call the shots on her own terms. A multi-million-dollar
inheritance from the father she never knew has allowed her to start
her own practice. And with her teenage niece, Emma, whom she's raised
as a daughter, on a school trip to Europe, Clare has been able to
focus on turning a storefront in a tough Phoenix neighborhood into the
legal firm of her dreams and offering her services to the troubled
community. But just as she opens for business, explosive shots take
out her street-level windows -- and nearly take her life. Someone
clearly has targeted Clare, though she doesn't know who or why. All
she knows is she must surrender to Tony Sonterra's protection if she
wants to survive....
Sonterra has designs on a career move to the FBI -- and on
rekindling his scorching, no-strings-attached affair with Clare. But
can the man who sparks her passion be trusted with her life? Or is
someone using Clare, the one person Tony has dared to get close to, to
get to him?
