Seconds — Freya Barker

Love, life...death-a few seconds can change everything. I'm a criminal defense lawyer determined to build my own firm from the ground up. My ex, the new prosecutor, complicates things; especially when the animosity between us infects the whole courtroom. Then I meet Callum-my brother's friend, a bounty hunter, and the accused in my new case. The charge-sexual battery. The supposed victim-a bail jumper he's been chasing halfway across the country. My instincts tell me he's innocent, which I set about proving, but I didn't expect to fall for him in the process.Our mutual attraction becomes a tempting complication neither of us can resist.When a body turns up, Callum and I realize a war is raging around us; and one of us is the target. With an ex-husband eager to take me down, and a woman determined to ruin Callum, we need to figure out who the perpetrator is...before time runs out.
