One look will seal his fate...

Handsome. Ambitious. Uncompromising. Criminal defense attorney Mike Baldwin values three things above all else: his fledgling law firm, his family and his integrity. A born protector with the weight of the world on his shoulders, he'll do anything for the ones he loves, especially his wayward younger brother, Sean. Mike's life is focused and simple—exactly the way he likes it—until the day beautiful Dara Williams walks into his life, making his carefully ordered existence spin out of control and forcing him to question everything he believes about himself.

One woman will steal his heart...

Once burned and twice shy in love, Dara plans to study hard and graduate at the top of her law school class. Sean's romantic overtures don't tempt her. But Sean's brother Mike is her new boss, and his piercing gaze and brooding presence are infinitely harder to resist.

Dara's internship at Mike's firm leads them to work closely together—sometimes late into the night—and a mutual obsession roars to life. Normally, Mike would never pursue his brother's dream girl, but how long can he fight his fierce attraction to Dara? A look leads to a touch...a touch to a kiss...a kiss to an explosive affair that leaves the lovers reeling. Because, despite their determination to protect Sean, some passions refuse to be denied. And that can only lead to...Trouble.
