I enjoyed this book.  A friend of a law office manager was suddenly on the docket of the court for murder.  Autumn was shocked as her friend Mia would help earthworms get across the sidewalk so they wouldn't' t get squashed or be too hot on the concrete.  She immediately rushed to Ash Thorpe, the top criminal lawyer in the firm telling him he had to go immediately and get her friend off from the murder trial.  He resisted only a bit and took off with her after reaching his staff by phone to find more about the case.  It didn' t look good.  People had heard them arguing several times.  Her ex-boyfriend was missing and some of his blood was at his home.  His fiancee said Mia was stalking him.  Autumn said he was stalking Mia.  There was no body and Mia' s yard was dug up. The concrete in her basement was dug up.  There were surprises when her neighbors all came over to help replant.  Surprises when he got to the school where she taught kindergarten.  Bigger surprises when they got to the ex-boyfriend's school where he was principal.  His research team was checking everything out.In the meantime Ash was keeping Mia close to him, in his home. She was becoming attracted to him and he to her .  She had been engaged to the alleged head man but she confessed that they never had sex as she never wanted to.  But she was feeling fireworks when Ash was around.  Ash had to get her proven innocent not just get the case dismissed for lack of evidence as she was a teacher and reputation was important.  She was also such an innocent in so many ways.  Could his team do it?  Could he keep to his personal ethics not to have a sexual relationship with a client?  There are other women involved in the law firm as well and Ash has his brothers as partners.  I will be looking for a sequel with one of the other brothers.  Maybe more than one.  Try this book.
