She was an attorney with a shining future. He was a star witness with a dark past. Nothing could prepare them for the day their destinies would cross and their lives would change forever.



Major Carly Samuels, a top JAG attorney, leapt at the chance to investigate the murder of a high-profile female officer. The initial police report cited Ryan McMann, a fallen hero with ice-blue eyes and a chilling past, as a key witness to the murder. But as the investigation proceeds, it seems Ryan was a little closer to the crime than Carly wanted to believe. Now, as a web of torrid secrets comes to light, the line between witness and suspect starts to blur -- and the boundary between trust and betrayal is about to be crossed.
