Goodreads Synopsis:
Facing years in prison, Marcelina Page leaves her fate in the hands of her sexy, tough-as-nails lawyer, Walker Bishop. But she’s holding back a secret past that may ruin her chances in court…and her chances with Walker. When an opportunity to guarantee her freedom arises, she fears there is no choice but to enter the very world of organized crime she has tried so hard to avoid.
Walker is used to dealing with difficult clients, but never one that threatens to penetrate his heart the way Marcelina does. Her forbidden mouth captures the unwanted attention of his criminal enemies as well, prompting a deal from the DEA that could work in everyone’s favor…if not for his own selfish desire to keep Marcelina for himself.
Review:
This was an intense and steamy crime novel! There was a lot of tension between Marcelina and her lawyer Walker. Since he was her lawyer, they couldn’t be together as a couple, even though they both wanted to be together. There were a few different subplots with different crime bosses, but everything tied together in the end. This story kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time!
Bygones Be Damned is a great crime novel!
