Let me start by saving that I enjoyed the author’s Wing Dragon MC series and book in Breaching the Contract in this series.  So when the author was able to bring both of these series together in this book it was a pleasant surprise; adding a glimpse into her Wing Dragon MC Series.

Jaxon Bentley is the must have criminal attorney.  He has pour his life into making his firm one of the best in town.  But Jaxon personal life has not been easy.  He had guilt over a loss that he had no control over however he seems to blame himself.  The unknowns have been eating slowly at him.  When a high profile murder case contracts him to represent her, he will do what he does best; win the case. 

Scarlett Reyes has been accuse of murdering her cop husband.  But she claims to be innocent.  She will have to tell Jaxon all her secrets so that he can do his job to clear her name and keep her out a prison.  But Scarlett has issues.  Trusting any man is one of them.  It will take time and Jaxon slowly breaking down her walls to get to the truth.

Jaxon knows he has to keep things professional.  He knows to never cross that line.  But something about Scarlett calls to him.  She seems to make him a better person just from a simple smile here and a soft laugh here.  Scarlett is no better.  She starts to crave Jaxon.  But that is now what she needs right now.  She needs to clear her name.  Not lust after her attorney. 

Can Jaxon and Scarlett keep things professional while she’s his client.  Or will the lines of attorney client blur?
