"This is a real intriguing tale, filled with unexpected and surprising twists. Karen's secret past comes back in the most unusual way." Catlou Small-town lawyer Karen O'Connell believes that all of her clients who have found themselves recklessly embroiled in scandal and trouble have done so foolishly because of love. She has heard far too many times that the heart wants what it wants. But one night, Karen receives a call from Jack Curtis, her vengeful ex-husband, whom she's never told anyone in her family about. He's found himself in a world of trouble, arrested and in jail, charged with murder. He says he's innocent, and he needs her help. Her first response is to say no, but Karen knows Jack isn't the kind of guy to ask for help from anyone, especially not from the ex-wife he openly despises and hasn't seen in years. She knows there must be more to the story-but what she doesn't know is that the mysterious circumstances surrounding the murder could be the reason her hasty marriage ended so badly.
