Izzy, as she's known to her family and close friends, has never participated in a criminal defense trial, and throughout the trial she struggles with different issues mainly-- is the defendant truly guilty, and doesn't the lawyer need to know that in order to offer a good defense?

If they do will it be together or apart? For answers to these questions and others like it you'll need to claim your own copy of CLAIM OF INNOCENCE.

SUMMARY

Forbidden relationships are the most tempting. And the most dangerous. It was a crime of passionโ€”or so the police say. Valerie Solara has been charged with poisoning her best friend. The prosecution claims sheโ€™s always been secretly attracted to Amandaโ€™s husbandโ€ฆand with Amanda gone, she planned to make her move. Attorney Izzy McNeil left the legal world a year ago, but a friendโ€™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-fiancรฉ, Sam. Now she wonders if thatโ€™s all she has in common with her criminally gorgeous younger boyfriend, Theo. Itโ€™s Izzyโ€™s job to present the facts that will exonerate her clientโ€”whether or not sheโ€™s innocent. But when she suspects Valerie is hiding something, she begins investigatingโ€”and uncovers a web of secret passions and dark motives, where seemingly innocent relationships can prove poisonousโ€ฆ
