Overview

Eric Eaton is no longer simply the polished wealthy bachelor. Underneath the control, he has a private vulnerability: after his younger sister was murdered during a home invasion years earlier, he became quietly obsessive about security, routines, and never appearing afraid. The dead robber's threat strikes him so deeply because he has already once watched someone make a promise of violence and carry it out. Valerie Vincent carries her own scar. Five years earlier, she testified too confidently in another case. She believed a frightened woman was lying about fearing her ex-boyfriend because the man appeared harmless. Days later, the woman was murdered. Valerie has never forgiven herself. That failure is why she cannot easily dismiss Eric's fear-and why she also refuses to let herself become emotionally reckless again. The defense attorney becomes Claire Holloway: brilliant, elegant, late thirties, and very much Eric's equal. Claire has represented him for years on business matters and has quietly been in love with him for longer than she would ever admit. She genuinely believes in him. She is not jealous or cruel. She simply sees Valerie becoming what she herself never could.
