This courtroom drama deserves standing-room only as a cast
of villains and vigilantes attempt to eradicate justice
from the personal and professional lives of two unlikely
heroes.
When Victoria Lord meets Steve "Slash and Burn" Solomon,
it's hate at first sight. Lord, a young prosecutor with the
Miami/Dade County District Attorney's office, is a by-the-
book officer of the court. She's heard about Solomon's
sleazy courtroom tactics, but she's confident that her
poise and professionalism will rule.
Unfortunately, the only rule these two abide by is a
contempt of court charge when the judge throws them both in
the slammer. Something clicks, and it isn't just the lock
on the cell.
Solomon and Lord find themselves partners defending
Victoria's old acquaintance, Katrina Barksdale. Katrina's
husband, Charles, has managed to choke himself to death
with a leather whatever (trust me, you really don't want me
to go into the details here) during some unusual sexual
enhancement activity and the D.A. isn't buying Katrina's
story.
It appears that Katrina has a short attention span when it
comes to men; motive and opportunity are appealingly
pointing to the grieving (?) widow. Realizing this case
could be "Larry King Big!" the two combatants vie for the
fee and the notoriety the publicity will provide.
It's now up to Solomon and Lord to put hate on hold long
enough to free Katrina, to prove Steve Solomon is a fit
guardian for his autistic nephew, and oh yes, to fall in
love.
Can the two survive a conniving gubernatorial hopeful, a
judge who hates them and each other? Good luck and good
reading.
Steve Solomon is the sharpest lawyer ever to barely
graduate from Key West School of Law. Victoria Lord is
fresh from Yale, toiling for an ambitious D.A. and soon
to
be married. And Katrina Barksdale is a sexy former figure
skater charged with killing her incredibly wealthy,
incredibly kinky husband.
With all three tangled in the
steamiest trial of the century, the case is sure to make
sparks fly, headlines scream–and opposites attract.
But with Solomon inventing his own laws and Lord sticking
to the real ones, these two can’t stop squabbling, even
after teaming up to defend the glamorous widow.
With
crooks, con men, and a cast of colorful characters
swirling
around Solomon, and an anxious fiancé waiting for Lord,
the
two attorneys begin to believe their luscious client has
been lying through her perfect teeth. Now Solomon and
Lord
must solve the case before they end up in ruin, in jail…
or
in bed.
