But Leigh’s ordinary life masks a childhood which was far from average … a childhood tarnished by secrets, broken by betrayal, and finally torn apart by a devastating act of violence.
BUT NOW THE PAST IS CATCHING UP …
Then a case lands on her desk—defending a wealthy man accused of rape. It’s the highest profile case she’s ever been given—a case which could transform her career, if she wins.

Suddenly she has a lot more to lose than this case. The only person who can help is her younger, estranged sister Callie, the last person Leigh would ever want to drag into this after all they’ve been through. But with the life-shattering truth in danger of being revealed, she has no choice…
