She lived for upholding the law…
Defense attorney, Malone Rice, doesn’t want to go to her fifteen year class reunion. Attending means running into her former high school flame, now Portland police detective, Ian Blair. But when the committee decides to honor her for her pro-bono work with homeless teens, she knows it would be churlish not to attend. She will have to go and make the best of it.
But now the law won’t save her.
As expected, Ian attends the reunion, but what Malone doesn’t expect—could never expect—is that Ian would find her standing over their classmate’s dead body. Or that she would still have feelings for the once bad-boy of their high school. Ian’s struggling too, between arresting Malone for murder and his age-old attraction to her. He walks a tightrope, until evidence surfaces that the real killer’s still out there, and Malone becomes his prey. Can Ian overcome his feelings to focus and uncover the truth before the killer strikes again and Malone ends up dead?

My thoughts: this is a sixth and final book in this romantic suspense series featuring a team of Brothers and sister who are all experts in different areas of crime solving and protection skills. I wondered if this book would live up to level for the previous five since the heroin is a lawyer and not really a detective or anything, but she was great for it. I enjoyed getting to know the characters in the story and I'm glad to know that we will be revisiting the characters in the new series that I'm just starting to first book of tonight. Ms sleeman is one of my favorite romantic suspense authors for good reason and I look forward to all her books. I was given a copy free and all opinions are my own.
