She lived for upholding the law…
Defense attorney, Malone Rice, doesn’t want to go to her fifteen year class reunion. Attending means running into her former high school flame, now Portland police detective, Ian Blair. But when the committee decides to honor her for her pro-bono work with homeless teens, she knows it would be churlish not to attend. She will have to go and make the best of it.
But now the law won’t save her.
As expected, Ian attends the reunion, but what Malone doesn’t expect-could never expect-is that Ian would find her standing over their classmate’s dead body. Or that she would still have feelings for the once bad-boy of their high school. Ian’s struggling too, between arresting Malone for murder and his age-old attraction to her. He walks a tightrope, until evidence surfaces that the real killer’s still out there, and Malone becomes his prey. Can Ian overcome his feelings to focus and uncover the truth before the killer strikes again and Malone ends up dead?

"It's about your parents. Their car crash wasn't an accident."
Tragically, before she could get details, the man was dead, and Malone Rice was discovered holding the murder weapon and handcuffed as a suspect . . . . by none other than Ian Blair, her high school crush. . . . now a Portland police detective with a boat load of suspicion in his eyes.
In spite of Malone's explanation being slightly outlandish, Ian wanted to believe that the girl he once knew was incapable of killing a former classmate in cold blood at a class reunion. Shoving aside his personal feelings, Ian knew that working the facts was the fastest way to exonerate Malone from criminal charges, but apparently she had friends in high places, for no charges were ever made. Maybe they could work together then to unpack the details, or was Ian suffering from a case of wishful thinking?
Finally! Malone gets her own share of the spotlight, for she has been such a valuable supporting cast member through-out the Nighthawk Security series. Ian and Malone both carry doubts about their ability to form lasting relationships and rightfully so, who would have thought that it would take a life and death scenario to make them realize that as believers, their old life was past and the one they now lived could be brand new. The glory of faith!
An interesting story with a remarkable beginning and ending!
