Gaining back trust is hard enough . . .
Jackson Cole is shocked when he hears a troubled friend has been found murdered in a New Orleans hotel room - and he's the prime suspect in her death. Jackson realizes he has to fight for his life, but the one person he can count on is the last person he should call: Hallie Hunter, the most gifted attorney he knows . . . and his ex-fiancée.
Divorce attorney Hallie Hunter can hardly keep her composure when Jackson walks through her door, begging her to represent him. It can mean only one thing - she will have to spend time alone with the man who once violated her trust . . . the only man she has ever loved. And to make matters more complicated, the murder victim was at the root of their final split. But as the case steers her toward a dangerous underworld, Hallie must help Jackson confront a devastating truth - and must decide for herself if she can ever live without him again.
