An RT Book Reviews nominee for Best Contemporary Romantic Novel
Shattered by her husband’s tragic death, young lawyer Abigail James takes on a case that stirs too many memories. A dying woman wants Abigail to find out what really happened to her sister Rosemary, a hit-and-run victim who’s been dead for more than fifty years.
Rosemary, who had the looks of Hollywood royalty but ran straight into every dangerous situation she could find, mesmerized every man she came across. But she kept her heart hidden—and that may have cost Rosemary her life.
As she delves into the past, Abigail discovers suspects ranging from a vanished hoodlum to a judge who is now headed for the Supreme Court. And soon, Abigail comes to see how she guards her own heart, even from sexy Ross Stewart, her partner on the case. Yet soon she must turn to him, and learn to trust, as twisted threats warn her that investigating Rosemary’s death too closely will put Abigail on a collision course with danger and death . . .
