Katrina's gifted mind and strong work ethic have earned a promising legal career. But the voices of her late abusive husband, her jealous boss, and her overbearing mother conspire to give her a crippling sense of unworthiness. With good things in her life making her feel worse, the only way to resolve her conflict is self-sabotage. Edward has intelligence, experience, a sharp sense of humor, and the power to use these as tools or as weapons. When Katrina seeks his counsel, his actions endeavor to speak louder than her past. Though he strives to earn her submission, his dominance may demand more trust than she is able to give. Katrina will take her lessons from the bedroom to the courtroom to save a falsely accused man from ruin. And she finds her client is not the only man in her life who needs her help when Edward must come to terms with failings of his own. This book is intended for mature audiences. No artificial intelligence was utilized.
