The celebrity murder trial of Robbie Childress resulted in an acquittal that shocked the nation and devastated the family of the victim, Robbie's wife.  Now, in the mountain playground of Aspen, Robbie is shot to death and Lawrence Bergen, his former father-in-law, stands accused.

VENGEANCE...

Tess Bergen has never felt more desperately alone.  She possesses a devastating secret that can make or break the case for her father's defense--and it's Dan Hadley's job to find it.  As the investigator who uncovered the evidence that freed Robbie, he's spent the past few months self-destructing.  Now he's got a chance at redemption.  And maybe a chance with Tess.

OR BOTH...

As the courtroom drama unfolds in Aspen among the power-hungry prosecution, the infamous defense team, and a family torn by tragedy, Tess and Dan dare to trust and love as the ripple effect reaches a shattering conclusion as real as today's headlines.
