Forbidden relationships are the most tempting. And the most
dangerous.
It was a crime of passion—or so the police say. Valerie
Solara has been charged with poisoning her best friend. The
prosecution claims she’s always been secretly attracted to
Amanda’s husband…and with Amanda gone, she planned to make
her move.
Attorney Izzy McNeil left the legal world a year ago, but a
friend’s request pulls her into the murder trial. Izzy knows
how passion can turn your life upside down. She thought she
had it once with her ex-fiancé, Sam. Now she wonders if
that’s all she has in common with her criminally gorgeous
younger boyfriend, Theo.
It’s Izzy’s job to present the facts that will exonerate her
client—whether or not she’s innocent. But when she suspects
Valerie is hiding something, she begins investigating—and
uncovers a web of secret passions and dark motives, where
seemingly innocent relationships can prove poisonous…
