As another hot, steamy summer draws to a close, Miami lawyer Gail Connor is still reeling from her devastating breakup with criminal attorney Anthony Quintana. The bitter accusations they hurled at each other can never be erased ... nor can the unborn child they created together before the love was gone.To cope, Gail buries her grief in work. When Anthony's teenage daughter secretly approaches Gail to defend her boyfriend, who's the prime suspect in a murder, she throws herself into the challenge. The case is complicated and fascinating: the victim was the heir to a yacht-building fortune, shot to death during a wild party at a waterfront estate. Motives and suspects abound within this family driven by jealousy, greed, and malice, and Gail is certain she can clear her client with the simple testimony of a reluctant alibi witness - who happens to be represented by Anthony Quintana.The air crackles with electricity when Anthony and Gail find themselves locked together on opposite sides of a capital case. But with an innocent man's freedom hanging in the balance, there is no room for venomous emotions, and no margin for error. Somehow, they must work together to save his life, and they must accept responsibility for the new life that will bind them together forever.
