Tara Bannister’s abusive stepfather finally pushed her too far. To save
herself she had to kill him. Or did she? Tara’s confession doesn’t add

Leslie must save Tara’s life—against her client’s will. In the midst of
this taxing case, Leslie’s wedding plans to law partner Brad Carson are
interrupted by a devastating diagnosis. Does she dare tell Brad? Before
the final gavel falls, Leslie must confront the truth about herself and
her mysterious client, or the darkness of the past will swallow them
both.
