Justice should never be rushed. Just when life with lover Tyler Falling takes shape and Alex Castle decides she is ready to be free of her controlling father, she learns he has been killed. The news sends her world into a tailspin. Intensifying the situation, someone close to the Castle family leaks information to the press, making Alex look guilty. The police arrest her. Now out on bail, she scrambles to clear her name. Legal help comes from an unlikely source--Private Investigator Ethan Falling, Tyler's soon-to-be ex-husband. He's the best at his job, but is he good enough to overcome mounting evidence and the rock-solid alibis of the only other suspects? Meanwhile, in a rush to justice, a powerful friend of her father's with an ax to grind works below the radar to pressure the District Attorney for a speedy indictment and put her back behind bars.

Facing decades of imprisonment has Alex doubting the people she should trust the most, including Tyler. Will the pressure bring Alex and Tyler closer or drive Tyler back to the husband who still loves her? Can Ethan work fast enough to point the finger at the actual killer before Alex loses her freedom, or will blind suspicion rule the day?.
