Romance Suspense

Escaping nightmarish memories of an assault, one of Chicago's assistant district attorneys, Olivia Kincaid, returns to the loving protection of her father's ranch in Colorado to heal physically and emotionally. Her nightmares follow her, yet she hopes that time and the comforts of home will prepare her to assume her previous career. Her healing process is tested when her father, a retired judge and long-time director of a work-release program held on his farm, brings in five convicts to start their release program on his ranch while Olivia is recuperating. Much to Olivia's chagrin, she's drawn to one of the convicts, who sets himself apart from the others the moment he steps out of the bus. When a woman is murdered and discovered on Olivia's dad's property and Hank doesn't have an alibi, Olivia has to decide between her feelings and her training. Hank Elliott wants nothing more than to be free. He's done his time in prison and vows never to return. McKade's CONVICTIONS is a compelling story of belief in someone and the strong capacity of the human spirit.
