In the newest novel from New York Times-bestselling author Karen Robards, a feisty female attorney's past comes back to haunt her. One cold November night when Kat White was fifteen years old, she and some friends held up a convenience store. In the heat of the moment, one of the others shot and killed an off-duty cop moonlighting as a security guard. Kat and her pals fled the scene in a panic, and no one was caught. Sixteen years later, Kat-now Kate-has built a new life for herself. Now a single mom with an eight-year-old son, she works as a prosecutor in the Philadelphia DA's office. But her dark past rears its head when she walks into court one day and discovers that she is to prosecute Mario Castellanos, one of her friends from that terrible night. Kate is in a bind: even though Mario was the one who probably did commit the crime, he's counting on Kate to make sure he's not convicted. If she convinces the judge of his guilt, he'll claim that she was the one who killed the off-duty cop. Before real despair sets in, Mario is found dead-in her apartment, and with her pistol. When homicide detective Tom Braga shows up to investigate the murder, Kate is far from relieved; the two have clashed since she started working for the prosecutor's office. But when another man who knows the secret of Kate's past gets involved in the investigation, she learns that her life-and her son's-are in danger. Frantic, she realizes that she has nowhere to turn. Except, maybe, to Tom . . .

Excellent book

I was hooked immediately and enjoyed the ride throughout the entire story. The romance was hotter than hot but not offensive. But at the same time it was a thriller,a super page turner---very exciting, fast moving story with lots of excitement.The characters were believable--easy to fall in love with the little boy, Ben--not to mention Tom. My kind of book. I couldn't put it down, I lost sleep, got behind in work----but it was worth it to read such an excellent book.

The last few Karen Robards books were dissapointing. Not this one. The story grabs you right away. A good romance wrapped around a mystery.

Her usual enjoyable sexy thrilling self.

A great read interspersed with plot twists and interesting characters. Not as good as some of her other works, however.

Eh!!!!!!

The premise of the book was good, and that's why I rated this 3 stars. Unfortunately, I got lost in all the "descriptions" -- from what was in a room, a neighborhood, people's clothes, etc. Just too much. I found myself skipping over paragraphs just to get to the point of the story.
I usually enjoy Ms. Robard's work, but I was disappointed this time.
