Five years after the break-up of her marriage, Lily Walker is forced into an uneasy alliance with her husband's divorce lawyer, Daniel Walker, a man who had once torn her reputation to pieces, to investigate a shocking murder. Original. Award-winning author Laura Lee Guhrke steps back to a time of Southern propriety—and passion—in this thrilling page-turner laced with heated sensuality. A lawyer is reunited with an unforgettable lady from his past—and together, they step into a web of small-town scandal and desire. Lily Morgan may be Shivaree, Georgia's most talked-about lady. Everyone in town knows about the bitter break-up of her marriage five years before, when Daniel Walker, her husband's tough, uncompromising lawyer, tore her reputation to shreds and left her with nothing but a wish to get even. But now something about Daniel makes her blood boil and her pulse quicken...not with righteous fury, but with passion. Daniel has returned to Shivaree to once again match wits with Lily Morgan. The thought of a rematch with Lily delights him, for he has never forgotten her hot temper—or her lovely looks. But when a shocking murder shakes the town, Daniel joins Lily to find a killer, and their unexpected partnership sparks something between them that they never expected—desire. Now Daniel, the strong-willed lawyer for whom winning is everything, realizes he must win the one reward he can't live without: Lily's forgiveness—and her love.
