After Midnight

the long version

He was just the man for a desperate woman... Cord Prescott never asked if she was guilty when he came to bail Arianna Rossini out of jail, but something unspoken passed between them... and told him she hadn't embezzled the missing money. But when she asked for a deal instead of a trial, he ached to learn her secrets... to persuade her to surrender the truth. Consumed by desire, haunted by guilt, could Ari help Cord make peace with his own demons? In a novel that's provocative, passionate, and poignant, Linda Warren explores a forbidden love between a rebel attorney who's won everything but a woman's heart and a lady whose mystery may be innocence or deceit. Would capturing Ari's love mean losing his soul?
