Sinossi

Life is finally good for reluctant family law attorney James Quinn.
 
Her father may get his visa soon, her boyfriend is the bomb, and her law practice is growing like crazy. But when she agrees to take on a high-profile divorce case, everything falls apart.
 
What looked like an opportunity to work with her friend Grace and make some serious bucks has turned into a deadly game, one that could destroy their friendship and tear their town apart. Why couldn't Jamie just leave well enough alone?
