Attorney Kell Jameson has a secret. One she shares with
two childhood friends and which they all desperately hope
will remain buried.
But then Kell gets a phone call that forces her to take
leave from her successful Atlanta law firm back to where
it all began. She's hoping she can get in, handle her
business—business that includes defending the director of
her old orphanage—and get out, with her secret still in
tact.
Except she encounters Sherriff Luke Calder, whose
responsible for investigating the crime for which the
orphanage director is accused—and who has secrets of his
own.
I enjoyed this story, finding a playful humor beneath the
narrative that made it a fun read. Both Kell and Luke are
strong but conflicted. Their dance to gain trust is like
a matador and a bull at a bullfight, each assuming either
role as necessary. Just when it seems like all is lost as
far as any type of relationship between these two, one or
the other caves, yielding just enough ground to keep the
dance going.
There was some evidence uncovered during the criminal
investigation that seemed all but forgotten about until
the last ten pages of the book, and then brought back only
to set up the next book in what is obviously at least a
three book series, one for each of Kell, Fin, and Julia,
the three childhood friends. That made me not like the
ending very much but overall, I liked the story and the
writing and would certainly read the next book.
Independent, stunning, and smart, Kell Jameson has the
life she's always dreamed about. A partner at a tony Atlanta
law firm that represents famous—if guilty—clients, she's far
from her days as a lonely orphan in rural Georgia. But one
frantic phone call will bring her back to the place she's
spent years trying to escape. The head of her childhood
orphanage has been accused of murder, and Kell is her only
hope for freedom.
From the first moment Kell meets
Sheriff Luke Calder, tempers and attraction flare. Ruggedly
handsome and a stickler for law and order, Luke finds Kell
compelling. Unfortunately, she represents his prime suspect.
Forced to work together, they dig deep into the town's
scandals . . . but Kell has a secret of her own. She trusts
Luke enough to fall in love—but does she trust him enough to
reveal the reckless past she's worked so hard to keep
hidden?
