Author Insight

The relationship starts

I love this scene from the first chapter because it sets up Jude's character and her rough exterior juxtaposed with her soft side with her dog Clyde. Also it begins the tension between the two lawyers when Malik sees her in the park talking out loud to Clyde. Very cute encounter!

Book Excerpt

Love on Trial

“If you think I’m giving you a treat for that stunt, you’re absolutely wrong.” She reached in her pocket and pulled out a small biscuit. “I’m giving you this treat because you came back.”
“Talking to your dog, are you?” The voice came from behind her, and she recognized who it belonged to immediately—they’d spent a very long day in the courtroom selecting the jury. She swirled around to face her accuser. “I thought you saved all your words for the courtroom.”
