"No one hunts down evidence better than you."
And right about now, attorney Hez Webster needs those evidence hunting skills to prove to his wife (technically ex-wife, but not for long) that the wine bottle in his trash can had been planted to throw suspicion his way, but to what end? He and Savannah had regained their footing, she was ready to marry him again (or so he hoped and prayed), and in fact her new appointment as the president of Tupelo Grove University should allow him to follow his dream of forming a law clinic there. Nevertheless, something was off kilter, Hez felt it in his gut, it would just take time to figure it out. Little did they know, the noose was drawing tighter with the passing of each and every day.
"I didn't see that coming". . . was my mantra throughout this entire narrative. Things both known and unknown fought fiercely for dominance; family history, criminal intent, international smugglers, duplicitous characters, overwhelming decisions, light vs. darkness . . . all playing a major role within this impressive display of romantic/legal/thriller/suspense, (yes, all of those! can you believe it?) giving me the distinct impression that the pages were turning themselves.

BackCover Blurb:
College
professor Savannah Webster is ready to give her ex-husband, Hez,
another chance, and she believes he's finally ready for them to face
their many past trials as a team. But when Savannah finds evidence that
points to Hez's old demons resurfacing, the fragile trust they've built
begins to crumble. And it's not just their relationship that hanging in
the balance--the survival of the university Savannah's family poured
their lives into is also under threat.
Hez is determined to put
his past mistakes behind him with his new role mentoring law students at
Tupelo Grove University's legal clinic. His primary focus with the
clinic is to help Savannah pull the university out of a pit of debt and
bad decisions made by the previous leadership, including her father. But
their quest for stability takes a dark turn as they try to root out the
dangerous smuggling ring the university is entangled in, and their
investigation puts them in the crosshairs of criminals who will stop at
nothing to eliminate any obstacle in their path.
The twists
continue until the final page as a dangerous world of smuggling and
financial instability collides with the complex dynamics of legacy and
family.
