Beschreibung

Coming home was the spark. He was the flame. Defense attorney Audra Reynolds spent the better part of a decade building a reputation in Chicago that had nothing to do with her last name. No longer just "Chief Reynolds's daughter," she'd become known as a formidable courtroom presence with an impressive win record and a knack for finding reasonable doubt where others saw only guilt. She left her small hometown of Montclair behind for good reason-or so she thought. When Marco Rosetti is accused of torching his own failing restaurant for insurance money, Audra finds herself pulled back to the place she swore she'd never practice law. It's supposed to be a quick case. But nothing about coming home is simple, especially when the lead fire investigator is Maliek Coleman-the man her father mentored, groomed as his successor, and perhaps loves like the son he never had. Maliek has dedicated his life to the Montclair Fire Department, rising from rookie to lead arson investigator through sheer determination and an unwavering commitment to the truth. He's built his career on facts, evidence, and an almost obsessive attention to detail. The case against Audra's client seems airtight: accelerant patterns, financial motive, opportunity. But defending this case means Audra has to do what she does best-dismantle his initial theory piece by piece, in front of the entire town. Their professional collision becomes personal the moment they're forced into the same room. The attraction that simmered between them years ago-before Audra left, before Maliek became the golden boy of the department-hasn't faded. If anything, time has only intensified it. Late-night evidence reviews turn into charged conversations. Professional respect evolves into grudging admiration. And somewhere between depositions and crime scene walk-throughs, they stop being opposing forces and start becoming something far more dangerous: partners in uncovering a truth neither of them expected. Because as they dig deepe
