Defence attorney Mike Baldwin has never lost a trial. He knows he can trust his razor-sharp instincts - and defendants who are straight up with him walk free. But those instincts always seem to fail in his personal life. He's been burned before, very badly - but when he meets his younger brother's date Dara at a party, the chemistry seems undeniable. Dara, though strong willed and whip-smart, closely guards a painful past: the only time she was intimate with a man, her trust was betrayed. She doesn't want another man and that includes Mike's brother. As Dara begins an internship at Mike's firm, the two deny their growing attraction until the smouldering desires just can't be contained. But Mike prides himself on his honour and hates the thought of betraying his brother, while Dara continually wonders if she can put her trust in Mike. Can love heal the deepest wounds of the heart?
