Publisher Description
Divorce lawyer Victoria Slade has seen enough unhappy endings to swear off marriage forever. That doesn't mean she's opposed to casual dating—just not with her cocky new neighbor, who is as gorgeous and tempting as he is off-limits. But once she agrees to take on his sister's case, she's as determined to win as ever—even if that means teaming up with Ford... Investigative journalist Ford Dixon is bent on finding the man who got his sister pregnant and left her high and dry. He's willing to partner with Victoria, despite the fact that the beautiful brunette gets under his skin like no other woman. Still, the more time he spends with Victoria, the more he realizes that the one woman as skeptical about love as he is might be the only woman he could really fall for...

— USA Today -
“Sparks fly when divorce lawyer Victoria Slade moves in next door to Chicago Tribune reporter Ford Dixon…The boundaries they place around their tentative friendship and eventual affair are distressing but realistic, and it’s gratifying to see the barriers eventually fall…Their happy-ever-after is not a sweet and foregone conclusion but a hard-won battle involving risks and blind faith.”
— Publisher Weekly -
“Strong, crisp storytelling containing snappy, amusing banter is the highlight of James’ latest. Ford and Victoria are appealing foes as they verbally spar, and the intense chemistry and tension between them will draw readers into the story. Add steady pacing, coupled with a solid plot, and James gives us a modern story that is highly entertaining.”
— RT Book Reviews (4 stars) -
“Known for smart characters and witty banter, James maintains intensity and high emotional stakes even as, for the second time, she moves beyond her typical suspense subplot, incorporating a psychological rather than physical sense of danger…James’ trademark mix of bright humor, emotional perceptiveness, and sizzling sexual tension make this a radiant winner.”
— Kirkus Reviews -
“Karen White’s emotional narration brings out the vulnerability and passion behind a divorce lawyer’s untouchable facade…White effectively sets up Spade’s cool, tough exterior with crisp speech that falters when Spade battles her anxiety attacks. As Dixon, White depicts a sensitive stud who’s playful yet has a serious side. White’s tone and range of voices effectively capture each character’s personality and create a dynamic flow. Her performance especially shines in her perfectly timed delivery of the sexual intensity between Dixon and Spade. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
