A Dying Oath

By Charlene E. Edwards

He got a killer acquitted. Then everything fell apart.

Defense attorney Jaxon Quinn has spent his career believing in the system. Due process. Presumption of innocence. The law is a shield for the vulnerable.

Then Vincent Morelli, New York's most feared mob boss, walks free. And the evidence arrives. Seventeen murders. Documented. Irrefutable. And Jaxon's fingerprints are all over the acquittal.

But it's Isabella Morelli who changes everything. Trapped in a marriage built on fear and violence, she is everything Vincent controls, and everything Jaxon cannot walk away from. As his feelings for Isabella deepen, so does his understanding of just how far Vincent's reach extends: through the federal courts, through law enforcement, and into the life of Jaxon's own father.

When Vincent corners Jaxon in his own office and makes clear that no one is untouchable, Jaxon realizes the law he has devoted his life to cannot protect the people he loves. And when a shooting at a gallery shatters what little safety remains, he is forced to confront the question he has avoided his entire career.

What do you do when the system you believe in is the weapon being used against you?

Some oaths demand everything.
