Passionate Appeal — Elise Randolph

She knew his reputation. Warren J. Hamilton could pour on the charm with accomplished ease, then zero in on his prey with lethal accuracy. It worked in the courtroom time after time. Surely it worked as well in his private life.

But Chris Davis had a reputation, too. She was a successful trial lawyer-- a woman of high moral principles. He was her opponent, her enemy, her nemesis. And if he aroused something beyond fierce professional competition, she would never let him know. Like the criminals she prosecuted, Chris would hide the evidence-- her surging passion, her aching desire. And. like a criminal, she too would plead innocence-- until proven guilty.
