In her seven years as a hard-driven assistant state's attourney in Annapolis, Maryland, Jan Garret has been told more than once that she needs to distance herself from her cases.

The only person willing to even listen to Jan's suspicions, he finds he finds himself entering her private nightmare...one that takes a terrifying turn when Jan realizes the man who confessed to her sister's rape couldn't have been guilty. Even as Max awakens Jan's long-denied desires, she knows that nothing could possibly matter more to her than finding out the truth...no matter what the cost to her career -- or her life.
