**This highly anticipated debut novel was inspired by actual events.**

Sember is a strong-willed attorney who’s got it all: the budding career, the condo, and a marriage proposal right around the corner.

When her sister, Sarah, needs a new attorney, Sember is torn. She wants to help Sarah, but she is terrified her emotions could compromise the case. With so much at stake, failure isn't an option.

In walks Jax Alexander, a brilliant legal mind from New York who excites Sember’s body and mind. When he offers to take on Sarah’s case, he provides hope in a hopeless situation. Sember and Jax are thrust together as their passion ignites.

As a web of lies is exposed, Jax works tirelessly to reveal the truth behind Sarah’s case. But, he has a dark secret shadowing his past that threatens to destroy everything.

In the midst of so many lies, can Jax really be trusted? His secret could put Sarah’s case in jeopardy and could cost Sember her life. Will he risk it all to save them, or will he cut and run, leaving destruction in his wake?

Sometimes, desperate acts call for desperate measures.

I loved how this book portrayed the bonds of sisterhood. I have one sister myself and I know how we would both do anything for the other. Sember was a great, strong female lead. I loved her take no shit attitude. I loved how much she loved her sister and her nephews and tried everything she could to right a wrong for them. 

And Jax, le sigh, Jax was such a great companion for Sember. These two were absolutely made for each other. It was great to see the dynamic of their relationship blossom throughout the book.

What really made this a good read for me is that a lot of the things Sarah, Sember's sister, went through during her divorce happened to Emerson Shaw's sister in real life. Yes, the POS brother-in-law in this book is an actual person. 

Romance, the bond of sisterhood and suspense, this book has a little something for readers of every taste. I enjoyed it.

4 stars
