Defy the Night — Lynn Leslie

Heidi Allan faced a life-and-death decision

Heidi loved her terminally ill infant nephew more than anything in the world, and she wanted to spare him from pain. Against all advice she removed him from the hospital and sang him lullabies under the night sky as he died in her arms.

Even though his brother had denied paternity, lawyer Luke Jefferson knew where his own obligations lay. He would have to punish Heidi to the full extent of the law. Yet when he met her, he knew this caring woman wasn't capable of murder.

But even as rage turned to love, Luke couldn't accept Heidi's choice. That meant turning his back on principles he spent his life upholding.
