description: Lesbian romantic suspense: Rhianna Lamb avoided one night stands. But who could resist sexy, charming Jules? They hooked up in a bar, first names only, not exactly Rhianna's style but she needed to escape her life for a few hours. Come tomorrow, she would take the witness stand against Werner Brigham, the man who had stalked and kidnapped her a year earlier. She can't believe it when she walks into the courtroom the next morning and finds herself staring at the woman she just slept with - none other than Julia Valiant, Brigham's hotshot defense attorney. Worse still, the woman whose touch she remembers so well brutally cross-examines her and demolishes the prosecution's case.Jules didn't earn her attack dog reputation by soft-peddling witnesses, but she suffers pangs over Rhianna. She is oddly drawn to this woman, a rare occurrence in her life, and by the time the jury returns its verdict, she is determined to see her again. Her chances don't look good when Werner Brigham is acquitted. Worse still, her client seems to think he can return to his old habits, this time with deadly intent.Danger and desire fuel a high stakes cat-and-mouse game, Jules has to win. But even if she does, will Rhianna ever forgive her?
