Take the Bait by Cindy Dees

Book One

Take the Bait

Fresh out of law school, Dani Wellford is determined to make her mark with her first solo case. Too bad her mysteriously uncooperative client seems determined to land behind bars. And too bad the smoking hot assistant DA prosecuting the case makes her pulse race every time they clash.

Cameron Townsend has an impressive conviction record, but his latest case is proving… challenging. Not because the evidence is weak—it’s ironclad. Not because the rookie defense attorney is incompetent—she’s smart, funny, and can give as good as she gets. The problem? She’s way too sexy for gray wool suits and he can’t stop thinking about her, and she’s getting dangerously close to costing him the conviction that will make his whole career.

Enemies in court, lovers after hours–they’re trapped in an impossible choice: honor their oaths as attorneys and lose the person who sets their soul on fire or follow their hearts and betray everything they’ve ever fought to become. Either way, when the verdict comes in, they’ll both lose something they can’t bear to live without.Justice has never been so complicated—or so seductive.
