The Prosecutor When brilliant Chicago prosecutor Zac Hennings faces off against passionate law student Emma Sinclair in court, their electric courtroom clashes mask an undeniable attraction—but she's fighting to free her brother from a murder conviction he swears he didn't commit, and he's determined to keep him locked away. As Zac and Emma reluctantly join forces when troubling new evidence emerges, they uncover a conspiracy far darker than either imagined, forcing them to risk everything they've worked for in pursuit of the truth. This is a high-stakes legal thriller where justice and desire collide, and two lawyers with everything to lose discover that sometimes the most dangerous battles are fought in the courtroom—and the heart.
