A sexy, new standalone in the Vested Interest series. When love turns to hate—that’s where I come in. I’m Halton Andrew Smithers, attorney. Hal to my clients and friends. Messy divorces, deadbeat dads, runaway wives, cheating partners—I handle them all. I know the seedy side of love, and it isn’t pretty. I avoid emotional attachments—I’ve seen all too often when hot passion turns to frozen tundra. I satisfy myself with helping people behind the scenes. It gives me a sense of satisfaction that completes my life. Until she enters it and everything I believe is turned upside down. She fills a void I never knew existed, and I know without her, my life will never be the same again. For the first time, I want to try. For her. But am I strong enough?
