Vera will be a lawyer. Nothing will stop her. Not even the fact that she's from sleepy old Edenville, North Carolina, or the fact that her single father's small business hardly keeps them fed. A lifetime of hard work and perseverance has propelled her to the destiny she's dreamed of. An internship with Edenville's top lawyer, Michael Cooper, might not be glamorous, but staying in the city for the summer wasn't an option. Like always, she'll turn lemons into lemonade. That's easier said than done when Jay shows up to steal her thunder. Jay has a one-track mind. He's driven to succeed, not out of pride, but desperation. Justice is all he has in mind when he fights his way through law school. Falling for hot-headed Vera is a distraction he can't afford. When the two collide, seemingly on similar paths, they realize they have nothing in common but their chosen professional goals. When a cut and dry conviction becomes their summer project, Jay and Vera need each other if they plan to win. Even more if they want to stay alive.

Writing is a way to make a lot of different people do exactly what you want them to do. When I can’t get my toddler to listen to me, I turn to my characters. They always cooperate! I currently live in Charlotte, North Carolina with my husband and seven year old son. I have perfected the ability to write in a noisy house and create story lines while folding laundry. Ten Things to know about me:
- I have a fear of whales. All whales. The noise they make. The sight of them (even on tv). I don't think this phobia has a name and I've never met anyone else who feels this way. I blame it on the 3D movie when I was 7 at the Boston Museum of Science. (Thanks Dad.)
- When I get hungry it brings out the worst in me. My friends and family know to keep me well fed. They pack snacks now.
- I can cook but not bake. Not even a little. Not even a box of brownies.
- If there is a song I like it is normal to hear me listening to it a hundred times (give or take) in a row.
- I do not, under any circumstances, read directions. Who has time for that? Making mac & cheese by the seat of my pants for the last 25 years.
- Like a black-out drunk, I have lost hours of my life mysteriously to Pinterest. If you haven't tried it yet... don't. Save your self.
- Before I became a mother, lots of things grossed me out. Now nothing does.
- My favorite food is food... my least favorite food is no food. I love food. (apply the same rule to wine)
- I do not have a green thumb. I have the kind of thumb that kills any type of plant ever given to me. Whatever kind of thumb that is... I have it.
- Writing has changed my life. Not just the career it's created but the way I feel when I write. If you have something you love to do I hope you get the opportunity to do it.
