Determined to win back Christina,
Steven will
take the law into his own hands...
even if he has to play dirty.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lawyer Christina Crawford has a successful
career and stable financial future, but is it enough? Her world is
disrupted when a routine divorce case means working with a man she never
expected—or wanted—to see again. During their first meeting, she can't
deny a connection still exists. Her head warns her to run, but her heart
yearns to stay.
Steven
Mitchell is ruthless in the court room, but outside those doors, his easy
charm, good looks and unlimited stream of female companions gives him an
unscrupulous reputation. Six years ago Christina saw beyond his façade,
but the emotions she evoked scared him and he pushed her away. Now he
wants a second chance and he is determined to get her back...even if he has to
play dirty.
Excerpt:
Heart pounding in her chest,
she closed the door behind him. Wearing her best business face, she
returned to this disastrous meeting and sat. Christina drew in a deep breath,
and a measure of control was restored. She picked up her pen and flipped open
the case file. “So, according to these documents, your client is contesting the
divorce?”
Steven reached across the table and snatched the pen
from her hand. “What’s the rush, Christina? We haven’t seen each other in
years. There’s a lot of catching up to do.”
She clenched her teeth together, barely parting her
lips as she spoke. “We have nothing but this case to discuss.”
“Come on, don’t be like that.” He leaned back in his
chair, frowning. “You’re not still holding a grudge, are you? What happened was
so long ago. I hoped we could start fresh, as friends.”
“Are you freaking serious?” She glared an icy stare.
Forget a slow death by high heel. She’d get more pleasure strangling him with
her bare hands. “You accused me of misconduct, had me fired, and now you want
to be friends?” Her heart thumped a rapid beat in her ears. “You’re out of your
mind.”
