Synopsis: They’re a perfect team: four tough, smart women who each have their own approach to life, law, and love. But assistant prosecutor Shannon Lynch has just broken ranks, falling for an ambitious politician whose idea of foreplay involves flirtation, caresses—and a confession of murder.
Shannon knows she should run the other way. But something about tall, twinkling-eyed Connecticut senator Scott Boardman keeps her coming back—even while her office is trying to nail him for murdering his wife and her rich female lover. Shannon’s friends—Marianna, Laurie, and Beth—are trying to convince their boss, Rhode Island attorney general Vincent “the Pig” Piganno, not to fire her, but then Shannon lands at the scene of another murder—and this time she’s a suspect. Now the man she can’t resist has led her into a mess she can’t escape—a realm of bluebloods and bloodlust that could cost her not just her career but her life.…
