Broken hearts. Broken promises. Deadly consequences.
In glitzy Lake Tahoe, couples break up every day. But few are as
successful as Lindy and Mike Markov, who built a $200-million business
together--before Mike took up with a younger woman. Now he's claiming he
doesn't owe Lindy a dime since they never married.
Attorney Nina Reilly, struggling to make a living in her one-woman
office and raise a young son alone, agrees to take Lindy's case. Nina
knows winning is a long shot, even with a brilliant jury consultant and
a palimony expert on her side. It's the kind of case--full of passion
and explosive secrets--that could make a fortune for a young lawyer. Or
drive someone to commit murder--for love, money . . . or the right
verdict.
New York Times bestselling author Perri O'Shaughnessy has created a
wonderfully unique and unpredictable character in Nina Reilly, a tough,
tenderhearted attorney and single mother who has been hailed by critics
as "one of the most interesting heroines in legal thrillers today" (the
San Jose Mercury News).
