The Best Defense

Business and pleasure dont mix, especially when the business is murder.

When Aimee Howard, successful boutique real estate broker and socialite, is visited by a team of federal agents looking to arrest her wayward niece, she hires the best defense money can buy. But Aimee begins to question her confidence in the law firm when she learns theyve hired a disgraced former police detective to take the lead.

Homicide detective Skye Keatons shortcuts in the name of justice have finally tipped the scales in the wrong direction. Shes lost her job, her pride, and the respect of her family and friends. When an old friend trusts her with a simple task—find a young woman in hiding—shes happy to have the work even though the client is a bossy former debutante who wants to micromanage her every move.

Skye reluctantly decides to let Aimee close to the investigation so she can manage Aimees expectations, but their professional proximity quickly takes a turn toward passion. Despite their best defenses, as they work together to regain what theyve lost, both women find the magnetic attraction that develops between them hard to resist.
