Vernetta Henderson once again tackles life's most
challenging battles--in and out of the courtroom. The
top-notch L.A. attorney juggles marriage, love, career and
ambition--only to become enmeshed in an explosive case that
puts everything she cherishes most at riskβ¦.
After winning a multimillion-dollar verdict in a
race-discrimination case, Vernetta Henderson's legal career
is definitely on the upswing. Just weeks away from a coveted
partnership at her prominent law firm, the African-American
attorney takes on the defense of a major corporation in what
appears to be an open-and-shut case of sexual harassment.
But Vernetta soon discovers that the case is not what it
seems. After passing up a chance to settle the lawsuit for a
minimal amount of money, a string of unforeseen events
places the entire case--and her own promising future--in
jeopardy.
It's bad enough having to work with a pretentious
second-year associate who has her own agenda. Now Vernetta
finds herself going up against the smooth-talking litigator
she once beat at trial. And just when she needs her husband,
Jefferson, most, he finds himself in a compromising position
that could destroy their marriage. As more troubling
revelations about the case emerge, Vernetta uncovers a
far-reaching conspiracy of corporate greed, deceit and
violence that will touch many lives, including that of her
closest friend. With both her private and professional lives
spiraling dangerously out of control, Vernetta is about to
discover what really matters--and how far she'll go to
protect the people she lovesβ¦.
