Annabelle Langley is all wrong for Ben Jackson. Ben's an ambitious district attorney with plans to move up in the political arena. Annabelle's messy past - or at least the past she believes is hers - will not be helpful to him.
But Ben loves Annabelle - it's the first time he's felt this way since his fiancee's death many years ago. And he's determined to prove Annabelle's innocence, even though he knows opening this old case will almost certainly destroy his career. But when it seems that the deeper he delves into her secrets, the more damning the evidence against her appears, Ben has second thoughts.
Should he stop? Let her go? Or keep fighting for the happiness they both want?
