This is the first time I've read this author and I would read this author again. I won this book in a recent contest.This was a good romantic suspense with a legal theme that I thoroughly enjoyed. There was lots of intrigue and suspense along with a hot steamy romance and two very strong main characters that I liked. The story line kept my attention, the twists surprising me.  I didn't see the end coming.  This story has a bit of everything including murder, mystery, death threats, blackmail, killers, stalkers and interesting supporting characters. The author packed quite a lot into 300+ pages and it flowed well.Katy, a lawyer, is given a high profile case which she hopes will help her make partner in the firm she works at. She is a strong smart woman with two kids and a very crazy ex that she has to juggle along with her job. She meets a very sexy man who she thinks is a bartender in a fetish club where she has gone to interview a witness and has a brief sexual encounter with him. She doesn't expect to ever see this man again until she walks into the courtroom and finds him as her opposing counsel.Mark, a lawyer, the managing partner in a firm, sometimes works as a bartender in a fetish club he owns with his partners. There he runs into Katy and the sparks fly between them.  She leaves before he knows who she is and before he can locate her he finds himself face to face with her in a courtroom on opposite sides. Talk about conflict of interest, they skirt the edges of that minefield throughout most of the book. Mark has commitment issues, regrets, from his past that add to the drama. I like the way the relationship between these two characters developed and how they dealt with the issues they were faced with.One thing of note, this book could have used another edit. This reader noted 13 issues that an editor should have caught; instances of extraneous words, transposed words, and missing connective words. Such issues pose a distraction to the reader causing them to stop reading while they figure out what should have been expressed.
