TROUBLE WITH THE LAW

Criminal defense attorney Veronica Winters always wondered what it would be like with sexy former detective Trace Rooks. Even though he’s an ex-convict now, because of her, she still wonders. Ronnie has always felt damned guilty for recommending a plea deal that sent an innocent man to jail. When she finds out he’s back in jail she's determined to set things right with him. At the jail though, Ronnie finds a changed man she almost doesn’t recognize. The scars on the outside are nothing compared to the scars he bears inside. Instead of the charming, easy going man she represented four years prior, his attitude is now as hard as his body. But she finds out the new, edgier Trace Rooks turns her on even more than the man she knew before.

When Ronnie Winters shows up at the jail where Trace Rooks is being held, supposedly to help him get free to make amends, he wants nothing more than to put his hands around her long, thin neck and squeeze. He definitely owed her that and more, but at the moment, he had other priorities. Like figuring out how to get out of the hole he'd dug for himself and the feds, which landed him in jail again. Ronnie wants answers, but Trace isn't giving her anything except a hard time because he thinks she's there snooping for his dirty father, a Texas Senator. Trace was a man who learned for his mistakes, and he wasn't falling for her tricks this time. Trusting Ronnie Winters had been the biggest of his life and Trace would never be that stupid again. But maybe the mouthy, leggy redhead could do something for him--like give him the answers he needed to take down his corrupt father.
